different  view  of  the  same  at  a  later  stage;  the  remains  of  the  floor 
consisted  of  a  stone  pavement  roughly  circular  in  outline  and  having 
an  E.-W.  diameter  of  6^  feet.  The  entrance  passage,  2  feet  wide, 
faced  W.-SW.,  and  seemed  to  have  been  formed  of  timbers  laid 
horizontally  behind  upright  logs;  some  of  these  remained  in  place 
behind  the  uprights  on  the  south  side.  The  floor  of  the  passage,  as 
indicated  by  a  few  stones  and  pieces  of  whale  scapulae,  was  some  16 
inches  below  the  stone  flooring  of  the  house.  A  small  whale  scapula 
had  been  placed  in  a  vertical  position  at  the  threshold  and  had  been 
worn  smooth  in  two  places  by  the  scraping  of  the  feet,  in  just  the 
same  way  as  the  whale  jaw  which  formed  the  threshold  of  house  no. 
4  had  been  worn  down.  Plate  11,  figure  3,  is  a  view  from  another 
direction  which  shows  in  the  foreground  the  stone  flooring  of  the 
house  and  the  passage  leading  off  toward  the  W.-SW.  Part  of  another 
floor,  consisting  of  flat  stones  and  scapulae  may  be  seen  to  the  right 
of  the  passage  way;  this  may  have  been  the  floor  of  an  annex  to 
the  passage.  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  passage  a  small  enclosure 
of  fire-burned  stones  indicated  a  fireplace.  Plate  11,  figure  4,  is  a 
view  of  the  stone  house  floor  showing  the  pit  near  the  center.  It  was 
lined  with  upright  stones  and  probably  covered  over  originally  by 
the  piece  of  whale  scapula  now  fallen  inward.  The  small  winged 
object  (pi.  59,  fig.  22)  is  shown  here  in  situ  at  the  edge  of  the  pit. 
Cuts  21  and  26. — Excavated  by  M.  B.  Chambers  in  1931.  These 
were  two  contiguous  cuts  near  the  south  edge  of  the  midden,  to  the 
southwest  of  cuts  i8,  23,  24,  25,  and  29.  Cut  21  was  5  feet  6  inches 
deep,  taken  down  in  13  levels.  Cut  26  was  4  feet  7  inches  deep  and 
was  taken  down  in  seven  levels.  Neither  of  them  was  rich  in  material, 
cut  21  yielding  123  artifacts  and  cut  26  only  38.  The  four  harpoon 
heads  from  cut  21  are  Old  Bering  Sea  types.  One  of  them  is  the 
small  specimen  shown  in  plate  26,  figure  14,  found  at  a  depth  of 
24  inches. 
A  cache  and  part  of  the  walls  of  another  structure  were  found 
at  the  bottom  of  these  two  cuts.  Plate  10,  figure  i,  shows  the  upright 
walls  of  the  cache,  at  the  left,  and  the  horizontal  timbers  of  the 
other  wall,  at  the  right,  before  eitlier  of  them  had  been  uncovered. 
Plate  10,  figure  2,  shows  the  same  structures  at  a  later  stage,  with  the 
walls  and  floor  of  the  cache,  at  the  left,  completely  revealed.  The 
cache  walls  had  been  formed  of  upright  whale  jaws  and  timbers  and 
one  whale  skull.  The  floor  was  of  flat  stones  covered  with  walrus 
hide,  above  which  were  several  whale  scapulae.  The  horizontal  timbers 
at  the  right  were  probably  part  of  a  house  wall.  Three  superimposed 
logs  were  visible,  also  several  bone  and  wooden  stakes  that  held  them
