Gender Vs Stage:The graph of Gender Vs Stage shows the correlation between males and females. On the X axis is stage, and on the Y-axis is number of individuals. Stage one was the first stage created in the mound. It contains 4 males and zero females. Stage two introduces the first females buried in mound six. Here we see Three males versus two females.

There are three individuals between the age of 10 and 20, Nine individuals between the age of 20 and 30, and four individuals between the age of 30 to 40. We see a peak at the range 20-30.

Elderly means upwards of 60 years of age. The most prevalent was the category of 20-30 yrs.
