The strata at the shoulder position, where the almost totally 

 cremated bones w T ere found, were in general similar to those at the 

 hip, but with certain variations as will be seen from the following-

A further study of the stratification between these two points, 

 with observations taken at ten foot intervals, showed that the re- 

 mainder of this intaglio excavation gradually decreased in depth 

 toward the middle of the animal body where it reached about zero. 

 This form of excavation we have termed a half intaglio. The rela- 

 tions of these excavations are shown in fig. 11. 



The intaglio excavation at the hip extended 6.4 feet below the 

 top of the mound, or 3.16 feet below the surface of the surrounding 

 ground, while that at the shoulder went down only 5.1 feet below 

 the surface of the mound at this point. 



The hip and shoulder positions of this mound showed distinctly 

 conical-like elevations, somewhat higher than the remainder of the 

 mound. From numerous borings and the system of trenches run 

 through the body, legs and ear of the mound it was established 

 that the builders, after digging these intaglios, first constructed 

 two conicals, with complex strata and fire remains, at the deep
