- Abstract
The article examines burial customs and ceremonies at Sugar Run Mound, a burial mound associated with the Squawkie Hill Phase of the Hopewell Native American tradition in Warren County, Pennsylvania. The author describes the unearthing of various Hopewellian antiquities at the excavation site, including a stone ax, bird effigies, and stone box tombs, all of which are associated with three different phases of the mound's construction. The author also notes the different types of burial practices connected to these phases, which include cremation and interment in box graves.
