The yield of the Emcryvillf shelbnound is three objects to one cb. M.
1907] Uhle. — The Emeryville Shcllmouvd. 21 Stmtum 111, '2, 0% cb. In. — 27 ol)jects ^ 1. 16 per cb. M. Stratum IV, 11% cb. M. — 41 objects = 3. 5 per cb. In. Stratum V, 9% cb. M. — 34 objects = 3. 5 per cb. In. Stratum VI, 4^/-; cb. M. — 9 objects = 2. 1 per cb. M. Stratum VII, 2% cb. M. — 10 objects = 3. 5 per cb. M.
The specimens contained in the graves in strata VI and VII were not counted in with the rest. This compariso...n shows mainly that stratum II is the richest in implements. The connection of this fact with the preponderance of ashes will be pointed out later.
Burials.
Shellmounds originate on the accumulated refuse deposited by people who have lived in the place when the heap has formed, and the mounds may therefore be regarded as sites for dwelling places, or abodes for the living, and not as mounds set aside as burial grounds by people living elsewhere in the vicinity. When- ever these mounds were used for burials it was not done in spite of their being dwelling places, but rather because they were such.^^ Many tribes of a low grade of civilization follow the custom of burying their dead underneath their feet in the ground upon which they live, to protect the graves of their dead against being disturbed and also to enjoy the protection of the spirits of the departed against their enemies.
