Two New Cultures in Delaware County, Oklahoma
The Mode site is an extensive village site on the banks of Grand River. Only a small portion of the site has been explored as yet, so the scope of our knowledge of this aspect will soon be considerably expanded.
Cultural remains were found scattered through about three feet of soil and in three cache pits which extended below this into yellowish, sandy subsoil. The pottery found in the various levels appeared to be quite homogeneous
The Rock Creek Ossuary, Iowa (13PM65)
Physical and cultural remains salvaged from the Rock Creek Ossuary (13PM65) by the Northwest Iowa Archaeological Society are described in detail. The site is interpreted as the place of reburial of at least 27 individuals who died over an unspecified period of time. Afflictions including two projectile point injuries are discussed along with an interesting effigy pendant made of catlinite. Mill Creek and/ or Great Oasis cultural affiliation is suggested on the basis of cordmarked pottery, numerous Anculosa shell beads and the close proximity of late prehistoric habitation sites
