Locality, &c. 



concealing the end of the wires, where the 

 eye is. Probably the other three cut ends 

 were so protected originally. 



Dorchester. 



An armlet of extreme slightness, of plain 

 thin wire. It is somewhat bent out of 

 shape. As it stands, it is 3! in. by 3in. One 

 end is flattened and bored to serve as an 

 eye, and the other is fashioned into a hook. 

 Dorchester. 



An armlet bent out of shape, and slightly 

 made. It is formed of flat wire, bent edge- 

 ways. The edges of the rim are orna- 

 mented each with a row of small notches. 

 The notches of one row alternate with 

 those of the other. This gives to the out- 

 ward circumference of the armlet a zigzag 

 or vandyke appearance. No hook and eye. 



South Street, Dorchester. 



From its slight rusting, this iron armlet 

 seems to have been plated with bronze, 

 and therefore is classed with objects of the 

 latter metal. It is much out of shape. It 

 is made of a rod about in. thick. At each 

 end it tapers greatly, and is made into a 

 hook. These hooks are now on the same 

 plane, but most likely were originally at 

 right angles to one another so as to hook 

 together. This may have been rather the 

 handle of a can or small pail.
