band is 220 mm. long, and is bent into an arc with a diameter of 140 

 mm. (fig. 11, a) . Both ends are drilled from both sides and pierced. 

 The transverse section is oval near the ends and circular in the middle. 

 The convex surface is highly polished, and the concave surface is 

 rough. 



A broken band 116 mm. long has a perforation drilled from both 

 sides in a square end, and a groove in the concave surface that ex- 

 tends for 60 mm. from the hole. The broken end is rounded and pol- 

 ished, and it may have been reworked (fig. 11, i) . Four broken bands, 

 none of which exceeds 80 mm. in length, have perforations in one end 

 that are gouged from both sides. Surfaces are smooth but are not 

 polished (fig. 11, g). One example is scored on both edges (fig. 11, 

 h.) A final fragment, a midsection, is 70 mm. long. A longitudinal 

 groove is cut into the convex face. 



Tines 

 (4 specimens) 



The tips of these deer tines are lightly polished, with occasional 

 longitudinal scratches near the tip. The proximal ends are irregular, 

 and the fractures indicate that the tines were hacked from the body 

 of the antler with some blunt tool. The lengths are 51 to 180 mm. 



Miscellaneous shaped objects 

 (3 specimens) 



A rectangular piece of antler, measuring 41X17X5 mm., is cut 

 transversely on both ends. The object was split longitudinally from 

 the antler. The convex surface is scored lightly and smoothed; the 

 mider surface is rough (fig. 11, d) . 



A second object measures 51 X 17 X 15 mm. One large end is sawed 

 transversely through the compact outer layer, and snapped off. The 

 object tapers to a squared, polished end. Its form is spuriously simi- 

 lar to that of a modern pipe mouthpiece (fig. 11, e). The convex 

 upper surface is smoothed on the high points, and the flat under side 

 is longitudinally scored with deep gouges. 



Another item is broken, but originally exceeded 200 mm. in length. 

 It consists of a straight shaft of antler 10 to 11 mm. in diameter. 

 One end is squared, and the other end tapers to a broken tip. The 

 sides of the object are scored, and five incised lines occur on either 

 side. Four notches are cut into the sides of the shaft at the square 

 end (fig. 11,/). 



Perforated elk teeth 

 (2 specimens) 



Highly polished canines of adult elk have holes drilled from both 

 sides in the roots. The holes are polished from a suspending cord or
