pL^P ?fo.' isf' TORONTO RESERVOIR AREA, KANS. — HOWARD 353 



worked from a section of mammal long bone. It is 43 mm. in length 

 and 3.5 iimi. in diameter (pi. 54, p). The second fragment represents 

 a part of the shank of a much larger object, with a diameter of 7 mm. 

 It has also been worked from a section of mammal, probably deer, leg 

 bone. 



Bone awls. — Three bone awls were recovered. All are made from 

 mammal long bones. These objects differ from the needles just de- 

 scribed in that their shanks are much wider than their points. Lengths 

 of the three objects are 55 mm., 52 mm., and 33 mm. Maximum widths 

 are 14 mm., 13 mm., and 10 mm. 



Bone head. — A tubular, bone bead is made from a section of the 

 long bone of some smaU bird or mammal. It is 41 mm. in length and 

 8 mm. in diameter. 



Miscellaneous worked lone. — Three pieces of bone, bearing recog- 

 nizable tool marks, were recovered. They have no recognizable form 

 and are probably scraps left after the manufacture of other objects. 



Metal ohjects. — Two metal objects were recovered in the shelter 

 fill. One is a fragment of a small iron kettle (pi. 54, r). It has a 

 rather elaborate design on its outer surface and on the inner surface 

 a raised numeral "2". The second piece seems to be part of the handle 

 of a brass spoon. Both objects may be assigned to either the historic 

 Indian occupation of the site or to subsequent use of the shelter by 

 White picnickers. 



CULTURAL AFFILIATIGNS 



At least two, and perhaps three, components are represented at the 

 site : Aksarben, Great Bend, and historic Indian. The first two are 

 identified by ceramic materials. The last, which may prove to be 

 identical with Great Bend, is identified by the petroglyph of a horse. 



The Outlaw Kockshelter (14W0225) 



This site is a very small rockshelter with a petroglyph on the rear 

 wall. The name derives from a local tradition that this shelter was 

 used by one of the Dalton gang or Jesse James as a hideout. The 

 shelter is very shallow, low-ceilinged, and damp. 



The petroglyph is possibly a representation of an Indian dwelling 

 covered with grass thatching, pieces of bark, or hides. According to 

 local tradition, the initials "N.C." were added by a man named Nor- 

 man Curtis, about 30 years ago, "to fool people" (pi. 55, c). 



Little- Water-Man Petroglyph (14W0226) 



This site consists of a single anthropomorphic petroglyph deeply 

 incised in the rocky outcrop along Dry Creek about 300 feet upstream 

 from the Dry Creek Eockshelter (14W0224) .
