conclusion is we'll borne out by further

large stone crematOry within the cir

to be made up of burnt stones. l

some system regarding the laying Of
the stone. but I found none The
crematory was II feet long, 9 feet wide,
9 feet deep on the east side, and 5
feet deep on the west side. 1t looked

given the crematory this slope in order
to make it draw well, and undoubted-
ly it was fired from the east end as
that was near the center of the mound
While the west end came up near the
wall.
The crematory was formed Of sand
stone, limestone, quartz, granite, etc,

glacial boulders commonly called mig
