 ritory adjoined theirs on the n. and with 

 whom they were friendly. Their houses 

 were low, of wood covered with earth. 

 They are not identifiable with any pres- 

 ent Yuman tribe, although they occupied 

 in Onate' s time that part of the Rio Col- 

 orado valley inhabited by the Alche- 

 doma in 1776. See Zarate - Salmeron

Baking stones. A name applied to a 

 numerous class of prehistoric stone relics 

 found principally on 

 inhabited sites in s. 

 California. They 

 are flattish, often 

 rudely rectangular 

 or somewhat oval 

 plates, sometimes 

 convex beneath and 

 slightly concave 

 above, and rare spec- 

 imens have obscure 

 rims. Usually they 

 are made of soapstone, and often show 

 traces of use over fire. They rarely ex- 

 ceed a foot in length, are somewhat less 

 in width, and perhaps an inch in average 

 thickness. The characteristic feature of 

 these plates is a roughly made perforation 

 at the middle of one end, giving the ap- 

 pearance of a huge pendant ornament. 

 This perforation served, no doubt, to aid 

 in handling the plate while hot. Some 

 of these objects may have been boiling 

 stones to be heated "in the fire and sus- 

 pended in a pot or liasket of water for 

 cooking purposes. This utensil passes 

 imperceptibly into certain ladle-like 

 forms, and these again into dippers, cups, 

 bowls, and globular ollas in turn, the 

 whole group forming part of the culinary 

 outfit. A remarkable ladle-like object of 

 gray diorite was obtained from the aurif- 

 erous gravels 16 feet below the surface in 

 Placer co., Cal. It is superior in make to 

 other kindred objects. The baking stones
