in size, ranging from 40 to 170 mm. long and 25 to 110 mm. wide (fig. 



21,/). 



Shaft smoothers (21 specimens) : 



Although most of these are fragmentary, they are generally elon- 

 gated, boat-shaped pieces of coarse- to fine-grained sandstone with 

 convex ends. All specimens have a U-shaped groove of varying 

 depth along one flat side. One complete example is 100 mm. long 

 and 40 mm. wide (fig. 21, d) . 



Catlinite 'pipes (2 specimens) : 



One complete disk-bowl pipe is 140 mm. long and 33 mm. high. 

 The prow projects 60 mm. beyond the forward edge of the platform. 

 The forward end of the prow is serrated, and the platform has 14 

 paired, incised lines radiating out from the orifice in the platform 

 center. The bowl was drilled with a tapered drill (fig. 19, h) . A sec- 

 ond pipe is a tubular fragment of a cylindrical bowl. The piece is 40 

 mm. long and 16 mm. in diameter (fig. 21, &) . 



Sandstone disk (1 specimen) : 



One-half of a disk of fine-grained sandstone, 97 mm. in diameter 

 and 10 mm. thick, has a lenticular cross section. The surfaces are 

 smooth and even, and there is a shallow depression in the center of one 

 face. The edges are scored by small notches, and one face is smudged 

 with red ocher (fig. 21, c) . 



Ganne pieces (2 specimens) : 



One of these objects is a smooth, oval stone 24 mm. long and 15 mm. 

 wide, with an encircling groove at its midpoint (fig. 19, i). The 

 second stone resembles a smooth, fossil fruit stone ; it is 8 mm. long 

 and 7 mm. wide, with a raised ridge along the edges. One surface 

 bears a deeply incised X (fig. 19, ;) . 



MeaUng slab (1 specimen) : 



A large slab of granite with one smooth, depressed surface measures 

 421 mm. in length, 254 mm. in width, and 127 mm. in thickness. The 

 depressed surface was ground smooth; it was probably used after 

 the manner of a mealing slab, although no manos or mullers were 

 recovered. 



Pigments (6 pieces) : 



Six pieces of sandstone and chalk may have been sources of paint. 

 Four of them are of very fine-grained sandstone, impregnated with 

 hematite ; three of them are brick red in color and the other is light 

 buff. Two small pieces of light yellow chalk have smooth, rounded 

 surfaces.
