type  with  open  ends  the  ends  may  or  may  not  be  sharpened.  Four 
examples,  of  the  rectangular  type,  were  found  at  the  Hillside  site. 
One  is  the  decorated  specimen  already  described  (pi.  13,  fig.  8).  The 
other  three  are  shown  in  plate  30,  figures  5-7.  Plate  30,  figure  5, 
from  house  no.  i,  is  14.1  cm  long  and  about  3  cm  wide.  The  bottom 
is  flat ;  the  sides,  which  are  for  the  most  part  broken  away,  were 
almost  vertical,  with  a  height  of  2.4  cm.  The  one  small  remaining 
section  of  rim  is  beveled  but  not  sharp.  The  upper  end  is  slightly 
upturned,  and  through  it  a  small  rectangular  slot  has  been  cut,  evi- 
dently for  suspension  ;  the  oi)posite  end  has  no  rise,  but  was  cut  off 
straight.  Plate  30,  figure  6,  in  two  pieces,  also  from  house  no.  i, 
is  of  the  same  general  shape  but  somewhat  shorter  and  broader.  It 
is  12.6  cm  long,  but  4.3  cm  wide  and  i.i  to  1.8  cm  high.  The  sides 
have  a  slight  outward  flare  and  slope  gradually  downward  from  the 
upper  end.  The  upper  end,  like  plate  30,  figure  5,  turns  upward  and 
is  perforated  for  suspension  while  the  lower  end  continues  level  with 
the  bottom.  Plate  30,  figure  7,  from  the  third  level  of  the  midden 
below  house  no.  i,  is  half  of  a  smaller  fat  scraper  which  differs  from 
the  first  two  in  that  both  ends  turn  upward,  making  it  boat-shaped. 
The  drilled  hole  and  the  rectangular  slot  show  that  it  had  been  mended 
after  breaking. 
From  Miyowagh  there  are  26  more  or  less  complete  scrapers  and 
fragments.  Two  of  these,  bearing  Old  Bering  Sea  ornamentation 
have  already  been  described  (pi.  17,  figs,  i,  2,  from  cut  9  a,  depth  50 
in.,  and  cut  10.  54  in.).  Three  others  are  shown  in  plate  51.  figures 
8,  9,  II.  The  first  of  these  (cut  12,  depth  25  in.)  is  rectangular  in 
shape  with  open  ends  like  the  two  decorated  specimens  just  mentioned. 
In  addition  to  plate  51,  figure  8,  there  are  nine  other  fairly  complete 
specimens  and  five  fragments  of  the  same  type,  distributed  as  follows : 
Cut  I,  depth  55  inches;  cut  3,  45  inches;  cut  5,  32  inches;  cut  9,  25 
inches  (2).  36  inches;  cut  16,  18  inches;  cut  18,  44  inches,  60  inches; 
cut  19,  17  inches,  67  inches;  cut  22,  18  inches;  cut  24,  36  inches  ;  cut 
27,  52  inches. 
Plate  51.  figure  9  (exact  provenience  unknown)  and  figure  1  1  (from 
cut  10,  depth  22  in.)  are  examples  of  the  more  rounded  type  with 
curved  ends.  Five  other  examples  of  this  type  were  found,  as  follows : 
Cut  7,  51  inches;  cut  9.  depth  unknown  (2)  ;  cut  18,  81  inches;  cut 
19,  67  inches.  Another  specimen  from  cut  16,  depth  18  inches,  differs 
from  the  last  mentioned  type  in  being  rectangular  in  outline,  with 
a  flat  bottom  and  straight  deep  sides  and  ends. 
Lastly,  there  is  to  be  mentioned  a  small  ivory  scraper,  or  perhaps 
a  cup  or  ladle  from  cut  29,  depth   17  inches.    It  is  short  and  deep,
