Conclusions on Burial Customs
The burials from these two mounds were predominantly in room
fills, predominantly flexed, wrapped in or placed upon matting, and accompanied
by pottery. Infants may have been buried in the extended
position rather than flexed. Most of the graves were disturbed, the
bones were out of place, and bones from two skeletons were frequently
mixed together. Other skeletons were represented by but a few bones
or fragments. Prairie dogs, grave robbers, or superposition of burials
may have been responsible for the general state of disturbance of
burials.
