Drawing of the burial of a young woman (16-19 years old) at the Olmos Dam site near the headwaters of the San Antonio River. Her body was covered with nine white-tail deer antler racks (and attached skull fragments), which were a common grave offering at this cemetery. Beneath the antlers in the vicinity of her neck, wrists, and ankles, were freshwater and marine shell ornaments and a bone bead. From Lukowski 1988 UTSA-CAR.
