Remains of animal bones were not uncommon in the ash deposits. 

 They were very rare, however, in other parts of the site. It is to be 

 regretted, for reasons stated before, that there was no opportunity 

 for further examination of the skeletal material. 



Stone objects. — The stone objects were very few in number and 

 comparatively unimportant. They include obsidian points and cores, 

 rough flakes of obsidian, three quartz spear points, several handled 

 rubbing stones and pestles of tufa, a few pieces of broken metate, two 

 beads of serpentine, and a single stone with engraved lines upon it. 



Shell objects. — The only shell objects were a perforated pendant 

 and some small pieces of mother-of-pearl. 



Human figurines — Archaic type. — This horizon is very poorly 

 represented in this site. As already pointed out, there seems to be 

 no ground for thinking that the history of the site goes back to the 

 time of the Archaic period. The figurines and pottery belonging to 

 this culture were found in close contact with a far larger number of 

 objects clearly to be assigned to the Toltec period. 



The only unmistakedly Archaic body is shown in plate 9, a. It 

 came from the Tunnel under Room II. Plate 9, &, may possibly 

 belong to the same type. Plate 9, r, is an unusual form. It is 

 painted yellow and came from the ash stratum above the wells. It is 

 undoubtedly Toltec. A seated figure with the typical eyes of the 

 Archaic period is shown in plate 9, d. Other heads from this culture 

 are shown in plate 9, e, /. The latter appears to belong to the " transi- 

 tional type." 



Toltec type. — A surprisingly small number of the typical Toltec 

 heads was found. These occur, however, in large numbers in the 

 immediate vicinity of the site. Of those found, the following were 

 the most strilring: A head with deep holes on either side of the fore- 

 head for the attachment of some extraneous decoration (pi. 10, a), 

 the typical Toltec seated figure with the " spectacled eyes " (pi. 10, 6) , 

 a head attached to a body (pi. 10, c), and two examples of Xipe, the 

 god of the flayed skin (pi. 10, c?, e). 



Coyotlatelco type. — A variety of Toltec figurine most frequent here 

 has, I think, seldom been described (pi. 11, «., 6, c). It is not found, 

 as far as I know, at San Juan Teotihuacan, and I have seen only a 

 few of this type from the Atzcapotzalco area outside of the site here 

 described. It consists of a complete body, much thinner than the 

 usual Toltec figurine, and characterized especially by a sharp-pointed 

 nose. The face is usually painted red, together with parts of the 

 dress, and the simple headdress is sometimes yellow. The faces of 

 these figures were probably not always made in molds. Portions of 

 25 of these figurines AA^ere found in Pit XVI and 7 in Pit XV. I 

 have called this variety of figurine the Coyotlatelco subtype. There
