Mounds E through H commentary:

All greatly reduced by either plowing or excavation and hard to see. Both Mound H and E contained inhumations and cremations, but like everything at Pharr only very tiny bone fragments were recovered. The cremation basins were placed on a prepared low platform at Mound E, but on Mound H they were placed directly on the original ground surface.

Mound E contained the most artifacts: several graves contained vessels, one grave produced a cache of flint blades, and the burial platform yielded a variety of artifacts. Only one greenstone platform pipe was found at Mound H.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
