It had been a sitting burial which had slumped forward and to the right side. It was found much disturbed and in poor con- dition. Near the head was found a bone fishhook about one-half inch long. Burial No. 32.—This was a type-la burial at a depth of 4 feet below stake 145-0. The body was fully flexed with a curved spinal column after the manner of round-grave burials, yet there was apparently no actual pit. The body seemed to have been laid on a very clean layer of shell and covered over with clean shell. It was thus enclosed in clean shell. This body of an adult lay on the left side with head to northeast. Near the neck was a pile of columella shell beads (fig. 35). 7J«/ Our/ace \^ levQ or ' cTr,efy clear llo'l shell l-irteh • Figure 35.—Burials Nos. 32 and 33, site Lu° 61. Burial No. S3.—This was a type-5a burial of an adult, at a depth of 5 feet below stake 150-0. The body had been placed in a sitting position in a pit, and the head and torso had been held in that position by eight large rocks which had been slipped in beside the body to wedge in between it and the pit wall. This had prevented the usual slumping in such burials, but the stones had crushed the bones badly. On the head lay a gray flint projectile point. This burial is shown by drawing with No. 32 in figure 35. Burial No. 34-—This was a 5a-type burial at a depth of feet in square 125-0. This burial had slumped badly, with the head as usual having fallen forward. The knees were elevated and the verte- bral column remained in anatomical order. Three flint points were found in association, two of red jasper and one of gray flint. 245407—41 11.
