(pi. 7, fig. I, d), the seventh, which is the crudest and may be aberrant, 

 suggesting the SCai type (pi. 7, fig. i, a). The exact classification of 

 these points is shown in table 3. 



Two small, neatly made end scrapers of brown jasper were found 

 here (see pi. 7, fig. i, q, for type). One specimen is 40 mm long, 22 

 mm broad, and 5 mm thick. It is the usual planoconvex type neatly 

 retouched on all edges. In addition, two worked stone pieces, re- 

 spectively 23 and 20 mm in length, suggest this type of artifact but 

 are very crudely retouched on all sides. There are two other oval 

 fragments of roughly chipped stone which may belong to either 

 this or the following type. 



No well-defined side scrapers were found in the ossuary. There 

 are two fragments of chert, however, which are retouched on only 

 one side and may have been used as side scrapers. 



One good example of the diamond-shaped beveled knife, often 

 called the " Harahey " type, was found in the Graham ossuary (pi. 7, 

 fig. 2, c). The specimen, of brown jasper, is 125 mm by 48 mm in 

 greatest dimensions and is very thin. The four edges are neatly 

 chipped and beveled. When found, the knife was broken, but the two 

 pieces were in close proximity to one another. Four other knife frag- 

 ments were found ; one was pointed and one rounded at the tip, and 

 the other two were rectangular fragments of uncertain form. All 

 four are of brown jasper. The three adequate specimens are classified 

 in table 3. 



Work in Bone 



One bone shaft straightener came from the south side of the 

 ossuary pit at a depth of 3 feet. It is made from the rib of a large 

 animal, probably a bison, and has a neatly cut and much worn oval 

 hole in the center (pi. 6, fig. i, c). One end is cut off, the other 

 broken, the entire specimen being 13 mm long. This artifact is notable 

 since similar rib bone shaft straighteners are common in historic and 

 protohistoric Pawnee sites. 



One extremely well-finished bone awl was found at a depth of 

 2 feet 6 inches in the north-central part of the pit. The artifact has 

 a rounded butt, is well polished, and has a slender sharp point (pi. 6, 

 fig. I, /). The butt formed by the head of the bone has the beginning 

 of a small bored hole on one side as though an eye had been started. 

 The awl is 180 mm long. 



Only two small bone beads were found in this site. Both have 

 been carefully cut from the hollow bone of some medium-sized bird. 

 One is 8 mm and the other 7 mm in length. The type is illustrated
