The Cover
The pottery vessel pictured on the cover is an example of the ceremonial ware used by the prehistoric Hopewell Indians in Ohio. The pot was found in Mound #2, Mound City Group National Monument, Ross County, Ohio in 1920 when the site was excavated by William C. Mills. The grit-tempered vessel has four small "feet. " Surface treatment consists of vertical cord-wrapped stick impressions on the rim immediately below which are triangular punc tate s. On the four sides of the body of the vessel are the conventionalized representation of a duck, each of which is surrounded by cord-wrapped stick impressions. The corners are embellished with vertical rows of triangular punctates. This specimen is on exhibit at the Ohio State Museum.
- 105 - Arthur George Smith 1891-1964
A man has left us.
Arthur George Smith, "The Old Sarge, " died September 23, 1964, at Crile Veterans Hospital, Cleveland, following a long period of declining health and several months hospitalization.
He will be long remembered.
Many people will remember "Sarge" for many reasons. For his devotion to The Archaeological Society of Ohio and to many other personal and society interests, in furthering the understanding and the preservation of prehistoric data. For his authoritative knowledge of archaeology, and for his many spoken and written contributions, sharing this knowledge with professionals and ama teurs the world over. For his encouragement of young people as their interest in prehistory first developed. For his vigorous stands for what he felt was true and right. Yes, for his deep sensitivity, seldom seen, but very much a part of the whole man.
A man has left us. He will be long remembered.
Eternal Father of us all Who watches over great and small Who made the sun to give us light Whose stars and moon bedeck the night Grant now Thy mercy and Thy grace To those who venture into Space.
(Found among "Sarge1 s" papers, source unknown)
- 106 - Arthur George Smith 1891-1964
(Earlier this year Arthur George Smith wrote this biography and entrusted the manuscript to the Society's Assistant Executive Secretary to be used "when needed. " It was as if he had a premonition that the time might be soon. Now it has come, all too soon. Here is the final word from "Sarge. ")
Arthur George Smith, also known as "The Old Sarge, " was born July 8, 1891, in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of William Arther Smith (formerly of Bax- terley, Warwickshire, England) and Eliza Cable Smith (formerly of Norfolk- shire, England).
He graduated from Lakewood High School in 1907, then attended Case School of Applied Science but did not graduate. Instead, he devoted several years to seeing the world and did examine portions of it from England to New Zealand, and from Central America to Hudson's Bay.
In 1916 he enlisted in Battery A, 134th Field Artillery, and saw service on the Mexican border and in France. He used to say "I won no medals, just did my job. " He was never officially wounded or gassed, but in 1956 an x-ray showed the presence of a piece of steel near his left elbow, probably from the pleasant autumn evening when the Germans made a near-miss and a big piece of shell tore the coat and shirt off his ribs and the underside of his left arm without apparently scratching the skin.
When he reached France, "Sarge" weighed 183 pounds stripped. When he got home again he weighed 118 while wearing a heavy wool uniform and British hobnail boots, a result of a dose of mustard and phosgene gas he got at Woel, France, when a shell struck close enough to splash his leg and hand. He never completely recovered from the effects.
As a side-light on the military mind, his Brigadier at that time said that a bad smell could not hurt a soldier and ordered courtmartial for any who claimed injury and went to the hospital. That Brigadier was not our late fellow- member General Wallace, who succeeded the first general after he had sat on a log on which mustard gas had been spilled. Bad smells can hurt, and right where it hurts most!
After being discharged in April 1919, the Sarge bought a range of green houses and went back into the florist business in which he had been raised, his father and both grandfathers having been in that trade. "Sarge" soon found that he could not take the cold and damp entailed, so sold out and moved to the Southwest. There he spent the next two years regaining his health. To pro vide beans and bacon he worked from time to time as a carpenter or metal lather, but most of the time he just loafed and absorbed sunshine. It is odd, and he was never able to explain it, but during this period "Sarge" paid no at tention to archaeology, not even doing any surface hunting.
In 1922 "Sarge" came back East and settled in Norwalk, Ohio, where he had a war buddy, and opened a cabinet shop. The shop was more or less of a
- 107 - front as surface hunting had the first call on the time of him and his buddy. Come good hunting weather and the sign in the front door said "Gone for the day. "
In 1924 the nearby towns of Sandusky and Lorain were hit by a tornado. The Captain of the local National Guard company invited "Sarge" to come along as trained men were badly needed. A few weeks later "Sarge" enlisted in Company G, 145th Infantry, Ohio National Guard, and stayed with that organ ization for 18 years. In 1941 the Guard was called into Federal service and "Sarge," at 50 years of age, made the grade physically and stayed with Com pany G until the 37th Division left for the Pacific.
"Sarge" then soldiered with various outfits until he received a disability discharge from the regular Army in July 1949. Moving back to Norwalk, he picked up collecting where he had left off. And he went to work for the Army Ordnance Corps at the Erie Ordnance Depot and worked there for seven years before retiring. He first worked on anti-aircraft and obsolete guns, later on guided missiles.
At about that time he was asked to join the Ohio Indian Relic Collectors Society, which he did. He was elected President of that organization which, at the time, consisted of about 125 members including deadheads. During his term in office he engineered the change to the present Archaeological Society of Ohio and, with the help of several dedicated members, built up the organi zation and its publication. He was later the Secretary-Treasurer of the So ciety, and still later was made its Executive Secretary, which position he held at his death.
"Sarge" was Curator for Archaeology of the Museum of the Firelands His torical Society in Norwalk, the oldest amateur society museum in Ohio. In 1956 he was created a Fellow of the Instituto Interamericano, of which he had been a Research Associate for several years. In 1962 he was appointed a Fel low of the Anthropological Society of Canada, and in 1964 he was elected a Master Archaeologist of the Guild of American Pre-Historians. He was a member or former member of many local societies, and a member of the So ciety for American Archaeology.
He contributed many short articles and reports on Archaeology to the var ious amateur publications in the United States and England. "Sarge1 s" first in terest in archaeology was the Paleoindian period, of which he was one of the early investigators.
In 1942 Arthur George Smith married Virginia Kinney of Norwalk, at Hat- tiesburg, Mississippi. She survives him with their two sons, William Arther Smith, II, and Thomas Edward Smith.
- 108 - The President's Page
We as individuals sometimes forget how important our membership in the Archaeological Society of Ohio is. I would like to stress to everyone that their membership is a contribution to archaeology. With the dues money we collect, we can publish the Ohio Archaeologist bulletin that can preserve written and pictoral accounts for future use. We can provide a publication for our profes sional and amateur members to publish material and opinions that otherwise might not get into print. We can educate new members to recognize material when it is uncovered in their area.
The Society has done an outstanding job in the educational department. From my own experience of eight years of membership in the Society, I have seen every president, board, and program chairman do their best to secure programs that would bring a wider knowledge to the membership. We plan to continue this practice. Our program chairman, Harley Glenn, is working on programs for our regular meetings that promise to be just as good as any we have ever had. Technical adviser, Ray Baby, is assisting in this programing and has some great ideas. I can assure you that the programs will be well worth your trips to our new meeting place in Columbus.
Another great way to learn is by studying the artifacts that are on display at the meetings. Some of the members like to acquire a certain type of flint, stone, slate, £t cetera, that may not be found in their locale. With the extra room, ample tables and chairs that we now have, we are going to attract more displayers. Exhibits chairman, Julius Noebe, is working on new ribbons to be awarded to the best displays. I have given his committee a free hand so they will probably come up with some surprises. If you have any ideas for pro grams or displays, let one of the chairmen know about them.
One idea that has been presented is an up-to-date membership list that would appear in the Bulletin. This is in the works and should appear in the October 1964 issue. When it does appear, note how many members we have in other states. It's wonderful to have these folks. I might add that many of them are frequent contributors of material for our magazine. Keep the ideas coming.

This issue concludes another year's effort on the part of your Publications Committee. Perhaps "concludes" is not the right word to use, because this responsibility requires a continuous effort marked only by calendar mile stones. Even as members await the arrival of the current issue, the succeed ing one must be all but complete, and material being accumulated for the one following that. Three issues are thus involved much of the time, a total of about 100 pages of intense effort to make our publication attractive, interest ing and informative.
I hope that this will accent two important points. First, of course, is the large amount of pictures and articles required to fill just the three active is sues underway at one time. Leaf through your last three issues and see if you have had an article or photo in one of them. You could have had! Secondly, if our publication is to offer a well-rounded presentation, the issues must be built from a file by submitting material early and often, and encouraging others to do the same. While the thrills and details of your 1964 discoveries are fresh in your mind, write them up, get some photos, and fire them in. When the weather turns bad and you can only sit inside, fondling and musing over prize artifacts, share the pleasure with our other members by submit ting them for publication.
1964 has seen the tragic passing of several true giants in archaeology and related fields. Their services to the subject were many and varied, and re spect was paid them because it was their just due. Their loss to this science creates a void; who will fill it? Active men will no doubt assume the burden of their services, but each of these people has carved his own place and the re spect he has earned is reserved to him alone.

- 110 - A Selection of Flint Artifacts in the Collection of John Hogue, Coshocton, Ohio
by Dr. Norman L. Wright, Coshocton, Ohio
Mr. Hogue secured the very large Ashtabula type point under unusual cir cumstances in Tuscarawas County in 1942. While he was hunting in the area, a farmer mentioned having plowed out a large point several years earlier, and being quite busy, he had tossed it down at the base of a large oak tree in his field. This field has been cultivated since that time excavating an area 20 feet by 30 feet to plow depth before recovering this perfect specimen which mea sures 6-1/4 inches long by 2-1/2 inches wide.
The long fluted point is from the Flint Ridge area, Licking County, and is registered in The Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Survey of Ohio Fluted Points, No. 9 as No. 524. Mr. Hogue obtained the point from the Hill collection.
The smaller fluted point is reported to be from Tuscarawas County.
The large stemmed point, a rich dark blue in color, was found in 1935, near Schoenbrunn, Tuscarawas County, and measures 3-1/4 by 2 inches.
These points and many other excellent specimens, including the Rothen- stine cache of over 300 blades (Ohio Archaeologist, Vol. 14, No. 1, January 1964) may currently be seen at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Memorial Museum, Coshocton, Ohio. Hours are: Tuesdays through Saturdays -- 1 to 4:30 P.M. Sundays - - 2 to 5 P.M. Closed Mondays.

- Ill - The Cramlet Site by Wayne Mortine, Newcomerstown, Ohio
On Friday, June 12, 1964, Ray M. Cramlet, a teacher at Coshocton Jun ior High School, called the author, saying that he was having excavations started for a motel on his farm located 1-1/2 miles east of Newcomerstown on State Routes 16 and 36. The earth-moving operations would destroy a site which had been surface-hunted for many years and considered an Indian camp site by local collectors. The site was near the end of a sloping projection ex tending into the valley of the Tuscarawas River. It was 5 or 6 acres in area with a nearly level surface and was 15 to 20 feet higher than the surrounding river bottom. The first firepit was uncovered the following morning, June 13, on the western perimeter of the area. Since the site was to be quicklyde- stroyed, Leonard Brown and H. C. Kunz were asked to help with the salvage work.
The first pit (Pit A) was excavated by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Mortine and members of the Cramlet family. It produced 140 potsherds of plain grit-tem pered pottery three-eighths to one-half inch thick. The rim sections are un derrated and flare out only slightly from the vessel wasil (Fig. 1). The largest reconstructed rim section gave a projected diameter of 10 inches on the inside of the mouth of the vessel. The reconstructed portions showed that there were parts of two or more large pots in the pit. Other artifacts found in it were a broken Adena expanded bar gorget (found in three pieces, Fig. 3), a crude hemispheric stone with shallow grooves on its opposite edges, a broken point of translucent Flint Ridge flint, and a broken basal end.
The second pid (Pit B) was excavated by H. C. Kunz and Wayne Mortine. This pit contained hundreds of fragmented plain, thick, grit-tempered pot sherds. No other artifacts were found. An unusual feature of this pit was the scarcity of rim sherds -- only seven fragments were found.
The third pit (Pit C) was excavated by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Brown. Many potsherds of smooth thick ware were found, most of which belonged to a single pot. Reconstruction of the badly-fragmented sherds produced the side- wall of a tall pot. The restored portion consists of about one-third of its cir cumference and most of its height( Fig. 2). Continuation of its curvatures on the inner surfaces produced a rim diameter of 9-1/4 inches, a major diameter of 11 inches located 9-3/4 inches below the rim, and an overall height of 19-1/2 inches. Rough calculations indicated an internal capacity of 6-1/4 gal lons.
Unfortunately the bottom section was not recovered in the hurried excava tion, but a projection of its lower curvature indicates a rounded rather than a conical bottom. The surface of the body and rim was entirely undecorated. It probably served as a storage or a cooking vessel.
The fourth pit (Pit D) was excavated by the Cramlets, H. C. Kunz, and Wayne Mortine. It was the largest of the pits, being 5 feet in diameter and extending 4 feet below the soil surface. It contained the largest amount of pottery in number and size of sherds. Pit D also produced the first variation in the form of the pottery. Some of the rim sections showed more curvature
- 112 - in the vessel and a small lip on the outside edge of the rim. All of these sherds were also plain-surfaced and grit-tempered. The pit produced seven flint artifacts, including three pentagonal points, an early Woodland type with a scraper point, a crude thick triangular blank, and a small broken knife. Two deer teeth were also found.
Other partially destroyed pits produced a square stemmed point and a dark square-based drill-shaped point. Many other pits were uncovered, most of which contained large amounts of charcoal, but no artifacts. All of the pits seemed to be on the same level and showed at two feet below the natural soil surface. The ones containing the pottery were lined with large pieces of gra- velstones on the sides and bottoms; those containing charcoal were not lined. My thanks to owner Ray Cramlet, who diverted grading operations so that we could do salvage work on this site.
Summary: In the opinion of the author, this was an Early Woodland (Adena) site.

- 131 - I Visited Hell Gap
by Mearl R. Guthrie, Bowling Green State University
Last summer on my way to a summer teaching position at Western Wash ington State College, I stopped to visit a site of an excavation in southeastern Wyoming. The summer's work had not yet started, so I returned to Wyoming in August to talk with some of the people and to see what had been found. The expedition is a project of the Peabody Museum of Harvard University in coop eration with the University of Wyoming and is sponsored by the National Geo graphic Society. Dr. Cynthia Irwin Williams, Henry Irwin, and Dr. George Agogino are in charge of the field work. Mrs. Irwin, the mother of Henry and Cynthia, is in charge of the field laboratory. Approximately forty college students work on the project each summer for their room and board. The summer of 1963 was the third summer for this expedition to work in the Hell Gap area. The work is so exciting that I would apply for a job if I didn't have a family to support.
Hell Gap is located on the eastern slope of a low mountain range near Sunrise, Wyoming, not far from the Platte River. It is on the southern edge of the famous "Spanish Digging" area. Many of the ridges and valleys of the area are littered with flakes of chert, jasper, and moss agate. The area was first discovered by an amateur archaeologist after a flash flood had uncovered some bones and artifacts. It is possible to pick up beautiful scrapers of var ious size on the surface.
There are many so-called teepee rings in this area (Fig. 1). These are composed of a row of stones laid in a circle sometimes 20 feet in diameter. Some people believe these rings of stones were used by recent Indians to hold down the edges of their teepees. Naturally, there is some disagreement among archaeologists as to the real purpose of these teepee rings.
The excavations are located on the edge of a creekbed which is now dry ex cept during heavy rains. From this area man was able to hunt elk, deer, tur key, etc. , in the mountains; or hunt buffalo on the Great Plains.
The expedition has set up three major site excavations, one in full view of the Great Plains. The second is located a few hundred yards up the mountain on the edge of the gorge. The third is nearer the top of the mountain. All three sites are located along the dry creekbed. About six miles away in an other wide creekbed, is a fourth exploratory excavation near quarries which contained various materials used for making implements.
In the area surrounding site #1 there are surface finds and some mater ials in caves. In the upper layers of the excavation were found artifacts, work shop materials, and bones belonging typologically to the Middle Period (2000- 100 B. C. ). In the next layer, sparsely scattered specimens indicate that the site was occupied during the Altithermal Period (4000-2000 B.C. ). The next level of the excavation, identified as the Frederick Complex (4000-6000 B.C. ), has yielded distinctive tools and workshop debris. The tools include medium size triangular knives, side scrapers, grinding stones, a bone awl, and a per fect lanceolate point. The Eden-Scotts bluff period (6000-7000 B.C. is repre sented in the next level which has been dated at 6640 B. C. Below this level is
- 132 - some evidence of earlier occupation. A still lower level which has been carbon dated between 7300 B. C. and 7900 B. C. is related to the Agate-Basin Complex (7000-7800 B. C. ) as indicated by projectile points, bifacial knives, side and end scrapers, triangular scrapers, and worked-bone objects. There is enough evidence to indicate that the area surrounding site #1 was inhabited almost continuously from 8000 B.C. until relatively recent times.
Site #2 may have been sparsely inhabited during the Scottsbluff-Eden and Frederick times, but no really identifiable remains from those periods have been recovered. The best represented culture at site #2 is the Agate-Basin, with a series of four separate occupational levels. There are indications of I the Midland Complex (roughly 8000 B. C.)and of the Two Creeks Contact period about 9300 B. C. Some of the archaeologists hope that they will find definite evidence of human occupation before the Two Creeks period.
At site #3 the upper levels are sterile with a possible exception of some indication of the Agate-Basin Complex. However, workshop materials, ani mal bones, and charcoal have been carbon dated at 8930 B. C. This has been named the Hell Gap Complex. Other items found at this site include well- made end scrapers, one hematite bead, a grinding stone, large bifacial blanks, and true blades.
Some of the archaeologists working at these sites "dream" that the Hell Gap area may become a fossil index for comparative purposes. They are also definitive finds which may indicate that man lived in this area as long ago as 12, 000 B. C. to 15, 000 B. C.
I wish that I could have spent a week or more with the expedition. Mrs. Irwin and her son Henry were very hospitable as were the other members of the expedition. (Unfortunately, I missed meeting Cynthia Irwin Williams dur ing both visits. ) My questions were always answered carefully by people who obviously thoroughly enjoyed their work.
The Irwins and their associates hope to obtain financial support to spend additional summers at Hell Gap. If you are in Eastern Wyoming next summer, stop and visit Hell Gap and the "Spanish Digging" area. You will meet some wonderful people and gain some first-hand facts about early man. (I wish to thank Dr. Williams for reading this manuscript and suggesting revisions to make it archaeologically accurate. )

- 133 - Example of Prehistoric Surgery
by C. K. Sheets, Jr. , Montgomery City, Missouri
In the fall of 1948, my wife and I were excavating in an Ozark Bluff shel ter in the western section of Warren County, Missouri. Warren County ad joins Montgomery County, my local area, on the east. We were excavating in 5 foot squares across the main living area in the shelter and taking out the dirt in 6 inch levels. In square No. 6, at a depth of 24 inches I uncovered a flexed burial which was buried face down, oriented with the head to the west. At first we thought the skull was a turtle shell, but on closer examination we could see the cut or drilled hole in the back of the head. We had never seen such a hole in a skull before. Knowing that Mr. Mett Shippe of the University of Missouri was working a few miles away in Research Cave at Portland, Missouri, we lost no time in calling him to view the find. He very graciously offered to clean and restore the skull for us, which by this time was beginning to fall apart from exposure to the air.
Mr. Shippe offered to take the head to the Plains Conference Meeting at Lincoln, Nebraska, which he and Dr. Carl Chapman and other archaeologists from the University were planning to attend later in the fall. It was the deci sion of the Examining Committee at the Conference that the hole was definitely an example of trepanning (a surgical perforation of the skull) and that the skull was that of a male American Indian, 25 to 35 years of age. This practice was used by the Peruvians in South America about 2000 years ago. The lower jaw belonging to this skull was not found in later excavating the area, so we sup posed that the man was not buried in the flesh, but later when only a few liga ments were still holding the bones together. The upper teeth of this specimen are good, but exceedingly cupped from eating gritty foods.
The University of Missouri has the rest of the burial and also pictures of it, taken by Mr. Shippe.
Burial goods in association with this burial were as follows: 1. One sharply pointed bone awl made from the leg bone of wild turkey, 3" long. 2. One pitted sandstone abrading or hammer stone 3" long, 1-1/2" thick, and 2" wide. It shows traces of a dark red stain which we think is from hematite, since a 1" x 2" x 1/2" oval of hematite was found on the hammer stone. 3. A piece of split leg bone of a deer, 4" long probably used to decorate pottery. 4. Two pottery sherds (body) of pale red grit-tempered ware, one of which is plain and the other cross-combed with a four-pronged instrument.
In correspondence with Dr. Don Dickson concerning this skull, he stated that, "I have reports of most of the trephined skulls which are recorded (8 or 9) and I am especially interested in getting the photo of yours since it is from our middle west. I think the one I have is from a middle-Mississippian burial. These two suggest that the surgery may have been practiced over a consider able time, since yours is Woodland. "

- 135 Exhibits Chairman Given Recognition
(Editor's note: The following is reprinted from TIMKEN, the publication of The Timken Roller Bearing Company, Canton, Ohio, where Mr. Noebe is em ployed. )
A family picnic one Sunday on a strawberry farm near Oneida, Ohio, is partly responsible for a lifelong hobby of Julius Noebe, Office Service Depart ment, Canton. It was at the picnic that Noebe and some friends found some ar rowheads.
Later in 1929, at a display of some arrowheads in a Canton store, a friend asked him where he could find a pure white arrowhead. This further aroused his interest.
Now, 35 years later, Noebe has been appointed chairman of the Exhibits Committee of the Archaeological Society of Ohio. One reason he was chosen was because during the years he has been an amateur archaeologist, he has collected between 4, 000 and 5, 000 perfect and imperfect artifacts (products of simple, primitive workmanship), a number of which he has mounted and dis played at exhibits sponsored by the Society. His work has gained state-wide recognition.
Few fields, river banks, and woodlands in Stark, Coshocton, and Tusca rawas Counties escape his attention. During the spring, summer and autumn months, Noebe spends his weekends searching for artifacts from six to ten hours a day. He often is accompanied by his wife. The areas he investigates average between 40 and 80 acres. Noebe says that the best time to hunt for the relics is right after a field has been plowed. With a long-handled imple ment he fashioned from a steel hook and a broom handle, Noebe has found hand tools, arrowheads (bird and war points), and spearheads -- implements which the Indians used to build their villages, hunt their game, and defend them selves.
His prize find is an Indian adze, a woodworking tool, which he uncovered in a muddy field in 1963. He is particularly proud of the adze because only one quarter of it showed above the mud and he easily could have passed it by.
Noebe says that the shape of the arrowheads he finds indicates the differ ent chronological periods in which they were made. His collection, some of which is mounted and framed and the remainder of which is stored in contain ers in his basement shop, includes flint that archaeologists say had been in the ground for 9, 000 years. The largest artifact in his collection is a fist ax, also called a hand chopper.

- 137 Boyles Bait Shop Burial Site, Troy, Ohio
by Harry Hopkins, Piqua, Ohio
The Boyles Bait Shop Burial Site is located at 1069 North Dixie Drive, Section 16, Range 5, Concord Township, Miami County, Ohio, in close prox imity to the Miami River. Mr. and Mrs. Noel Boyles operate a bait store on the grounds.
In the fall of 1963, the Boyles hired a young neighbor to dig a worm pit 20 feet long by 4 feet wide by 4-1/2 feet deep extending north and south at the edge of a low bluff 8 feet from the river. As the digger was working in the north end of his trench, he encountered the skull of an adult skeleton. The Sheriff's Department was notified and the Miami County Coroner ordered the remains sent to Raymond S. Baby at Columbus for identification. The bones were released to Harry Hopkins, President of the local archaeological group and an A. S. O. member, and they were taken to Columbus by Leonard Hill. Examination showed them to be a portion of an Indian burial and included some deer bones.
Upon learning the results of the examination, Mr. Hopkins notified the Sheriff's Department, and Mr. Hill proceeded to secure permission from the Boyles for members of the Miami County group to complete the excavation. Their Field Committee excavated part of the weekend in mid-November 1963 and completed Burial group #1. Material recovered included -- An aged adult with evidence of arthritis in vertebrae and leg bones; an adolescent child; a newborn child (fragmentary); portions of a fourth individual; a pottery sherd with incised line and punctates, Fig. 1; Flint Ridge flint chips at base of bur ials; deer bones, scapula and skull portions; small shell; charcoal over and around burials.
The burials were superimposed with the infant at the adult's feet. The top of the burials was located 4 feet below the natural surface and 8 feet above the Miami River level.
The following weekend the digger, Kenneth Collins, continued working on the original pit. Shortly after dinner he reported to Mr. Hopkins that his mat tock had struck another skull. Within an hour the excavation group, consist ing of Mr. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Overholser, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Iddings and Mr. Hopkins, was on the scene, carefully uncovering the flexed burial of a six year-old male. (Fig. 2)
He had been buried head to the east and was facing south or downriver. The skull of the burial was oriented toward the east and was facing south. The burial was placed on its left side, with the legs flexed, left hand under left cheek, and right hand on chest. Under the lower mandible a large white shell was discovered but despite extra care it crumbled to small fragments on con tact with the air so that separate removal was impossible.
Except for the damaged cranium, which was restored by Mr. Hopkins, the remains were judged sound enough for display at the new Miami County Archa eological Museum west of Pleasant Hills, Ohio. Accordingly, two wide shallow
- 138 - desk drawers were secured and the ends removed; the burial matrix was saw ed loose, and the entire burial removed in two blocks on the drawers. No ar tifacts accompanied the burial, but scattered throughout the sandy silt which covered it were small shells.
Other features of the excavation include a pit, 12 x 18 inches, containing burned bone and charcoal (possibly a crematory basin), which was located within Burial Group #1. The edge of a refuse pit containing part of a deer jaw and other animal bones was discovered 24 inches under the surface in the ex treme southeast corner of the excavation by Mr. Williamson. Because the owner Mr. Boyle did not wish the excavation extended at this corner, no at tempt was made to complete its removal.
The only material of diagnostic value recovered from this excavation was the single pottery sherd. Although only about an inch square, it contained an incised line and punctate marks. Since this is said to be typical of the pottery of the Fort Ancient people, it is felt that these burials are also of this culture.
