Conclusions
The following conclusions have been reached regarding the Harroun Site.
1. Principal occupation was by Fulton Aspect people closely related to—or identical to—people of the Titus Focus. There is an excellent possibility that this is a relatively early Titus Focus site.
2. The four houses probably were used for ceremonial purposes; ultimately each was “cremated” and buried beneath a mound of sand.
3. Mound A was for the purpose of covering Burial No. 1.
4. If the above conclusions are correct, the following archeological traits may be added to those previously recognized for the Titus Focus:
a. Mounds over human burials.
b. Mounds over burned house structures.
c. Circular houses of wattle-and-daub construction with centrally located hearth, interior roof supports in some cases, extended entranceway on the west or southeast side, soil banked against the exterior wall, and a centrally located center post used during construction of the house; the houses were sometimes built in shallow excavated pits.
d. Probable ceremonial use of the above-described houses.
e. Pottery type Pease Brushed-Incised in occupational sites.
f. Dart point type Gary in occupational sites.
g. Arrow point type Perdiz in occupational sites and in burials.
