Mound 2 was about 35 meters to the southeast of Mound 1. It contained an irregular rectangular limestone vault measuring 2.77 meters long on the north side, 2.83 meters long on the west side, and 3.11 meters long on the east side. The 0.88-meter-wide entrance was on the south side, 0.84 meter from the west wall and 0.82 meter from the east wall. The vault was intact, but the presence of Euromerican debris indicated it had been looted at an unknown time in the past. Excavation of the Cogan Mounds was conducted in June and July of 1973 by staff and students from the Kansas Archaeological Field School, under the direction of Dr. Patricia J. O’Brien from Kansas State University. Collections were processed and cataloged by field school students and then removed to the archeology laboratory at Kansas State University for analysis, reporting, and curation. They have remained in the university’s possession since that time. Fragmentary human remains belonging to one female adult, two adults of indeterminate sex, one child and one six-month-old infant were removed from Mound 1. Some of the bones are burnt, suggesting that cremation had occurred. Fragmentary human remains belonging to an adult of indeterminate sex were removed from Mound 2. Several pieces of bone show green copper staining. Of the 39 associated funerary objects, 23 are historic. The 39 associated funerary objects are eight metal nail fragments, one iron stake, one metal bridle ring, one bullet casing, two glass buttons, one ceramic fragment, nine glass and crockery fragments, one hematite stone, one projectile point, one lot consisting of stone debitage (approximately 83 pieces), one stone core, one fossil, one animal bone fragment, two gastropod shells, one ceramic sherd, three seeds, two charcoal samples, and two rocks.
