- (continued from previous page)garden now owned by James Moore and family who live in the adjoining house. There were three large stones placed on the top of the body. One on each of the two shoulders and one on the knees.
The skeleton was a very large one. It was sent to the Museum.
A whitish cup shaped sharp edged piece of flint (not at all like ordinary flint). Those who examined it described it as an knife for skinning deer and as so many antlers were found it looks as if it was used for this purpose. There was also a stone hammer found and it was brought with the other articles to the Museum.
