Bead. — One bone bead was found (pi. 14, %). It appears to have 

 been fashioned from a deer metapodial by severmg both ends. It 

 is 2.1 cm. long and 1.4 cm. in diameter. 



SHELL 



Perforated mussel shells (pi. i^, h). — The 17 perforated mussel 

 shells are all of a kind. They are medium-sized shells with a roughly 

 circular perforation just below the hinge. The perforations are 2 to 

 3 cm. in diameter and were evidently punched into the shell. There 

 are no tool marks, at any rate, to indicate that they were cut or 

 drilled. Use of such perforated shells is uncertain, but a consider- 

 able distribution, in both time and space, in North America is indi- 

 cated by archeological data. 



Pendant. — ^A small, flat, mussel-shell pendant (pi. 14, ;/), with two 

 closely spaced suspension holes near one end, lay at the neck of burial 

 No. 7. It is perfectly plain, with no indication of an engraved de- 

 sign. Length is 2.9 cm., width 1.5 cm., and thickness 3 mm.
