depression the stone is pebbled in such a manner that it may have 

 resulted from pecking. The opposite surface of the slab is convex 

 and irregular, and the high points have been ground down. 



Mano 

 (1 specimen) 



This object is made of an irregular granite stone measuring 

 120 X 103 X 36 mm. One smoothly convex surface is stained red, prob- 

 ably by ocher. The stone is pecked smooth and the high points are 

 ground and polished. Fine striations occur along the long axis of the 

 stone, and indicate that it was used with a back-and-forth motion. 

 The sides are battered from use as a hanmier. 



Ax 



(1 specimen) 



A block of granite is polished and shaped so that the transverse 

 section is rectangular with rounded edges (fig. 5, g). One end bears 

 a fractured, wedge-shaped bit ; the other end is broken. Dimensions 

 arellOXY2X32mm. 



Celts 

 (18 specimens) 



There are six complete specimens of celts which range from 122 to 

 170 mm. in length ; diameters are 47 to 60 mm. Transverse sections are 

 oval to nearly circular ; only one example is rectangular. The max- 

 imum width is at the midpoint on five specimens ; on one, it is at the 

 cutting edge. Polls are battered from use as hammers. The cutting 

 edge is wedge shaped and blunt. Nearly the entire surface of the 

 stone is pecked and smoothed, and on some specimens there is no 

 trace of the original surface (fig. 5, h). Fragmentary celts suggest 

 that they are from implements exceeding 170 mm. in length. 



In addition to the 18 recognizable celts, there are 6 large blocks of 

 diorite, all of which show some peckmg on high points of the stone. 

 Some of these are pecked in a manner which suggests unfinished celts. 



Unmodi-fied calcite 

 (10 pieces) 



These pieces of calcite, none of which exceed 117 mm. in length, 

 are unmodified. One of them, 75 mm. long, has a form spuriously like 

 that of an arrowpoint. 



Unmodified pehhles 

 (5 specimens) 



These oval pebbles are 24 to 58 mm. long. They show no signs of 

 use, and the surfaces suggest that they were steam rounded.
