ORNAMENTS 
A fragment of belemnite that has a groove worn into it 4 mm. from one end. 
The specimen appears to have been broken in half when an attempt was made 
to drill a hole down through its long axis. It is 18 mm. long and 7 mm. in 
diameter. 
BONE 
Bison scapulae: 53 specimens. 
Group 1:6 specimens. Fractured at the vertebral end. Spines and posterior 
borders removed. 
Group 2: 4 specimens. Scapulae with part of the glenoid cavity removed. 
Group 8: 15 specimens. Scapulae with smoothed and worn areas around 
the neck (pl. 56, 7). Presumably from rubbing of a handle. 
Group 4: 28 specimens. Identifiable fragments of bison scapulae. Worn 
and smoothed areas exist on 22 of the specimens (pl. 56, f). 
Picks: 4 specimens. Made from the proximal section of bison ulnae. The shaft 
portion has been broken and worn to a dull point. The olecranon is present on 
all but 1 of these specimens (pl. 56, e). 
Awls: 3 specimens. Made from a portion of rib. On one, the bone is rounded 
off at the distal end and displays some random scratches. It is 40 mm. long. 
On another, only the middle section is present. The piece is smooth and 
worn from use and also displays some random scratches and incisions. It is 
49 mm. long. The third awl is complete except that a small piece of the tip 
is lacking. The butt has been rounded, and the cancellous tissue is smoothed. 
It is 98 mm. long. 
Toothed flesher: 1 specimen. Made by cutting the metatarsal of a bison diag- 
onally to form a chisel edge. The working end has 6 transverse incisions which 
serrate this edge. The proximal end of the bone has been left intact. The tool 
is 165 mm. long (pl. 56, ¢). 
Hide grainers: 3 specimens. Made from bison condyles. The tools show worn 
and flattened surfaces on the cancellous tissue of the bone (pl. 56, d). 
Paddles: 2 specimens. Both made from the dorsal spines of bison vertabrae. One 
specimen has crossed diagonal incisions on the distal portion of 1 face of the 
spine. Seen from the handle portion of the paddle, there are 6 grooves cross- 
ing the spine from the upper left to the lower right and 7 grooves crossing 
from the lower left to the upper right. The pattern of these incisions forms 
a number of rhombuses whose longer diagonals average about 21.5 mm., while 
the shorter diagonals average about 14mm. There are some random scratches 
on the edge of the paddle. 
The other paddle has 8 prominent grooves extending across the spine on one 
face. Small, shallow incisions exist on each side of the 8 major grooves. 
The large grooves are spaced about 11.1 mm. apart. The proximal portion of 
the paddle was fractured and then worn smooth. The specimen is 336 mm. 
long and 66 mm. wide. Both paddles were located in a single cache pit (pl. 
56, a, D). 
Miscellaneous bone artifacts: 2 fragments of bison rib, having worn and 
smoothed areas; 2 unidentifiable fragments of bison bone, smoothed and worn; 
1 fragment of bison (?) rib, with 'a groove extending across one side; 1 small, 
disk-shaped piece of carapace, 1 mm. thick and 12 mm. in diameter. 
ANTLER 
One section of deer (?) antler was recovered. It has been cut sharply at the 
proximal end, and the tip has been broken off. It shows a few areas that ap- 
pear to have been smoothed from use.
