FIG. 15— PLAN OF MOUND NO. 34 



This stratification shows that the excavation for this mound 

 went down to a point 3.1 feet below the adjacent ground level, or 4.5 

 feet below the surface of the mound itself. Beneath the fires was 

 a two and a half foot stratum of the very fine yellow sand, similar 

 to that found in the adjacent great crematory mound, No. 33. 



A comparison of this old bear mound with the large bear mound, 

 No. 4, belonging to the second and evidently later line of mounds, 

 reveals certain distinct contrasts in the construction of the two.
