A few large cemeteries are known ; their discovery has usually been accidental. The soil above them may be cultivated for many years without a suspicion of what lies beneath until denudation by a freshet, excavation for a cellar or foundation, the cutting of a ditch, or some more trivial cause reveals them. As a rule, there is but one skeleton in a grave ; but the latter are scattered in confusion, sometimes several feet apart, again three Shell Heaps. 413 or four of them overlapping or merging... into one another. Remains of this nature are sometimes found in river bottoms under several feet of silt, that is even now subject to overflow. They are generally dispersed among the remains of huts on the site of a village, though sometimes at a distance from any apparent signs of occupation. Villages may, nevertheless, be close at hand, awaiting the advent of some one who can find them. Very frequently it appears that houses were placed wherever most convenient to the builders, and graves dug at random in any vacant space.
