118 
coon, with all the teeth missing, was buried near or with skeleton No. 66. 
The upper jaw of an adult, portions of the skull of a child, and the back 
part of the skull of a deer were found about 1 foot to the east and on the 
same level as skeleton No. 81. 
The post holes surrounding skeleton No. 28 {See Map 1600) suggest 
the possibility that some of the graves were covered with grave houses or 
were surrounded with wooden palisades. We know from the Jesuit Rela- 
tions of 1656-1657 (XLIII, page 279) that palisades were sometimes 
erected around graves. Van Curler (Wilson, page 92) and Megalopensis 
(page 157), at an earlier date, mention similar structures that enclosed 
Oneida and Mohawk graves, and the first-mentioned writer adds that the 
palisades “ were painted with red, and white, and black paint.”
