another larger one of black stone, with one side flattened (PI. VII, 

 13 — 15j; they were lying immediately next to the skull. 



An ornament, consisting of 53 pierced teeth, was previously 

 found in an East Greenland grave on the Skærgaards Halvø (68° 

 7' N. lat.)^; another, consisting of 36 teeth '^, was taken from a grave 

 in northern West Greenland together with some women's articles, 

 viz, a bodkin and a needlecase of bone. In none of these cases is 

 the position of the ornaments in the grave known, but they may 

 undoubtedly be compared with the row of teeth from the east shore 

 of Stormbugt, the position of which in the grave proves that it has 

 served as a necklace. How far the pendants have been strung on 

 the same line as the teeth or have probably been used as ornaments 

 for the ear or hair must be left for future consideration. 



Upon the same rocky knoll on which grave 321 was situated, 

 and about 30 metres NNW. of it, was a grave deposit (322) which 

 had probably contained the rest of the grave-goods belonging to this 

 grave, as no other graves occurred there; but unfortunately it had 

 been opened and emptied. 



In the other burial place belonging to the settlement, three graves 

 were found; these, however, contained no objects. In the neigh- 

 bourhood of one of the graves (326) lay a fragment of a sledge 

 shoe (PI. IX, 5). 



Snenæs. 



Of the three graves-' found in this place, two yielded very good 

 finds of men's articles, while the third contained no objects. 



Grave 422, which was handsomely built, is illustrated in Thostrup, 

 p. 282. The grave-goods (PI. VIII) consisted of the following objects: 

 A single-edged knife of reddish slate, with a short handle (PI. VIII, 1); 

 two harpoon heads (PI. VIII, 2 and 3), entirely of bone, the one of 

 them intended for use, 10- 1 cm. long, and the other a miniature 

 specimen, only 38 cm. long; thiee large slender arrow-heads of bone 

 (PI. VIII, 4—6), triangular in section. One of the specimens is frag- 

 mentary; the other two are 237 and 196 cm. long; their butt ends 

 are bevelled and roughened for application to the shaft. Moreover, 

 there w^as a fragment of an arrow shaft bevelled at one end, 28 cm. 

 long and up to 16 cm. thick. The miniature harpoon head onh' 

 was lying inside the grave, near its north end, and east of the 

 spinal column of the skeleton. The rest of the grave-goods, as 

 frequently happens, were deposited outside the grave, in this case 

 along its east side.
