6 
with refuse; one was 3 feet wide by 3| feet long and about 3 feet deep; 
the other, about 2 feet deep, had a layer of black refuse at the top, then 
a layer of sand 6 to 8 inches deep, then another layer of refuse below that. 
Two human skeletons and many artifacts were found in this deposit. 
Deposit 12, probably greatly spread by cultivation, and now about 
65 feet wide by 85 feet long, with a maximum depth of 11 inches in the 
portion excavated, was on the flat top of the hill. Its contents were 
unimportant. 
Deposit 13 lay on top of the bank, south side of the hill, and was 
about 45 feet wide by 90 feet long and 14 inches deep. There was little 
ash in layers, but a quantity was found in sixteen pits, some round and 
others oval, in certain parts of the deposit (See Map 1599). These pits 
were from U to nearly 5 feet in diameter, and from 14 to 24 feet deep. 
In one spot the ashes were about 6 inches deep and the sand below it 
had been burnt a bright red. Artifacts and even pottery fragments were 
scarce in this rather large deposit. A skeleton of a child was found near 
the northern edge. 
Deposit 14 consisted mainly of black material with only a little ash, 
and was about 25 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep near the middle. 
Some scattered refuse, part of which appeared to belong to a separate 
deposit, extended northwestward. 
Deposit 15 was on the south side of the hill, where the slope was about 
45 degrees, and was probably formed by the debris being thrown diagonally 
down the hill-side; a slight mound of refuse could be seen extending from 
about the middle of the slope to the bottom. The deposit was about 65 feet 
long, 35 feet wide, and about 4 feet deep at the bottom of the slope. In 
several places the dumps of ashes were quite distinct; in others the ashes 
were more or less stratified. The deposit being on the steep slope was 
undisturbed by ploughing and despoilers had not found it, consequently we 
found the well-preserved piece of charred fabric shown in Plate XVIII, 
figure 6. Many artifacts and two human skeletons were found in this 
deposit. 
Deposit 16, about 26 feet wide by 30 feet long, was very shallow and 
so was not excavated. 
Deposit 17, extending into the swamp on the south edge of Mr. White's 
field, was about 100 feet long, about 25 feet wide, and had a maximum 
depth of about 4 feet. The refuse had been dumped down the sloping bank; 
the ashes at the bottom were in an almost solid bed, in places over 2 feet 
thick, with refuse and top soil about 2 feet thick above it. Toward the 
west end of the dump there were two layers of black refuse; the upper 
one, mixed with ashes, being 2 feet deep and the lower one 6 inches; and 
between these layers was an irregular layer of ashes about 1| feet thick. 
Very few important artifacts and few pottery fragments were found in it. 
Deposit 18, on the edge of the bank, south of Mr. White’s barn, was 
about 58 feet long and 25 feet wide, and extended into the swamp at 
the bottom of the slope. Possibly it was formed by refuse thrown from 
cabins that stood near deposit 19. It contained few artifacts. 
Deposit 19, about 50 feet long, 45 feet wide, and about 18 inches deep, 
corresponds in location to the ‘'tumulus” at the southwestern corner of a 
parallelogram shown on Guest’s map. Very few artifacts were found in it.
