three individuals have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is

individual has been identified. The one 

associated funerary object is one lot of 

lithics. Human remains were found on 

the B.F. McCown Farm (orchard), near 

the Ohio River, where they were 

excavated from an unnamed mound on 

July 13, 1935. Human remains comprise 

of one cranium, aged around 75 years 

old. Historic records show the McCown 

Farms was located 3 miles north of 

Hanover, Ohio.
