Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...many fragments of human skulls, limb bones, and vertebra?, some of them completely incinerated. The only other relics found were a few columellas split lengthwise, none being entire. Almost exactly at the middle of the bank, was a grave 4 feet in diameter and 10 inches deep, in which lay the skeleton of an adult, lying on the right side, nearly straight, with the head toward the south. Three columellas 2 to 3 inches long and one 6 inches long lay by the head. When the bank was 6 feet from the center, 14 skeletons mingled with earth were discovered at its eastern end.

Five or G skulls also were found. Immediately below lay the bones of an infant in their proper position, with disk and Marginella shell beads; a little nearer the center on the bottom of the mound were the remains of another infant, who evidently had been born but a few days, and with which were 38 columellas and many disk beads.
