All artifacts and other specimens were placed in paper bags, on which were recorded the square, vertical interval, geological or structural zone (wherever possible), associated features (if any), appropriate grid, date, and any other pertinent data. For specimens found _in situ_ the exact vertical and horizontal position was also recorded to the nearest ¹/₁₀th foot. In addition to work in the mounds themselves, several exploratory trenches were dug in the immediate vicinity of Mounds A, C, and D. In each case these tests were tied in to the grid for the appropriate mound. Small tests were made with a post hole digger or a shovel over the entire area between the mounds, and also for some distance beyond the general mound area. These small tests were irregularly spaced from 10 to 100 feet apart. Recording the location of each of them would have required the clearing of a vast amount of underbrush; consequently, since they were all unproductive, only the general areas tested were noted. Measured drawings, descriptive notes, and photographs were made of the mounds, the burial at Mound A, the house plans at Mounds B, C, and D, and the other occupational features. General site notes were also taken, and a daily log of activities was maintained. Mound A Mound A, the smallest of the four mounds, was situated 75 feet south of Cypress Creek and 100 feet west of Mound D (Fig. 1). It was roughly oval in shape with the long axis running due east and west (Figs. 2 and 11). The length at the base was 35 feet; the basal width was 28 feet. The maximum height above the modern floodplain was approximately two feet. No potholes or other disturbances were evident from the surface. After several trees and bushes had been cleared away, the Mound A area was staked on a grid of 5-foot squares. A stake near the base of the mound on the south side was arbitrarily selected as the base or 0-0 stake, and the designations for the other stakes were determined by measuring their distance from the base stake in terms of the cardinal directions. The elevation of the ground surface at the 0-0 stake was assigned an arbitrary value of 100.0 feet, and all vertical measurements for the entire site were keyed to that point.
