' This was the grave of a child. On the lower left arm bones of the skeleton 

 were eleven shell bracelets. 



There was a flat bone object (pi. 8, a, b) lying lengthwise from the 

 forehead of the skull towards the back of the head, just as if it had been worn 

 in the hair, but the dirt settling on it had broken it in three pieces. Upon 

 cleaning and matching the pieces together I found that the surface had been 

 etched or engraved the entire length. It measures ten inches in length and is 

 about I of an inch wide at the butt end. In the soil several inches above the 

 skeleton there was found the broken butt end of a wide awl-like object, the 

 surface of which had been etched. This piece is only about four inches long 

 and one inch wide. The position of the objects, as well as their form and 

 incised decoration, tend to the conclusion that they were ornaments to which 

 feathers were attached and worn in the hair. 



An attempt to interpret these objects by the study of modern survivals will 

 be found in the following pages.
