Abstract
The accompanying Figure 26 was made by the writer from Newell's field notes and profiles. These profiles summarize the potential stratigraphy within the excavated leg of the mound in terms of the actual sequence of construction. (All remarks hereafter on the construction of “the mound” must be taken to apply only to the excavated eastern leg, subject to possible correction if and when the other leg is examined.) It will be shown that not all these stages of construction have determinable cultural significance; that is, some show no apparent differences in the associated cultural material and can be grouped into what we shall call “phases” of occupation.The reader should first examine NewelFs contour map of the site (Fig. 4), showing the peculiar L-shape of the complete mound, the grid system of numbered squares, and the position of the numerous house outlines.
