. Bulletin. Ethnology. No^49r* ^^^' ORMOND BEACH MOUND, FLA.—JENNINGS ET Figure 2.—Ground plan of burial arrangements below mound level, Ormond Beach. Burial or skeleton number preceded by prefix "; Depth below mound surface, in inches, is noted by each burial. determination, by cross section, of the exact extent of the pot hunter's trench on the south; at the same time we learned the local problems of soil texture, color, and stability while the first steps in the training of the labor crew in archeological digging began. This first cut, soon widened by 5 feet to the north, was informative in many ways. Discovery of the low, north-south trending sand ridge (locally called a "hammock") on which the mound was erected, gave notice that there was less artificial structural mound fill to deal with than had been anticipated. The loose, free-running fill sand slumped and slid and sloughed off as the trench walls dried out in the daily 370929—57 2.
