KIDDER-GUERNSEY] ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 81 
Except for one detached foot, the legs had completely disappeared. 
As will be seen in plate 29, 6, and figure 30, the remains rested in a re- 
clining position against one of the slabs forming the cist wali. The 
body had been wrapped in a fur-string robe, a few ends of which re- 
mained, as did also part of a string apron or skirt found near the 
hips. Lying on the breast, parallel with the left arm, which was 
close against the side, the hand resting in the lap, were a number of 
reeds; these lay flat and close together and had perhaps once been 
fastened together, though all traces of binding had disappeared. 
They may be seen in plate 29, 6. About the neck was a double string 
of olivella shell beads supporting a flat white stone pendant with a 
band of natural red coloring through its center (see pl.70,¢). The hair

on the back of the head was about 8 inches long and showed no dress- 
ing; that on the crown and about the forehead seemed to have been 
cropped close. At the side of the body and partly under the right 
arm were fragments of a cradle made of small reeds crossed on each 
other, interwoven with hair string, and fastened to a wooden hoop. 
On and about the cradle were scattered bones of a baby and ends of 
fur-string. On removing what remained of the large “mummy,” a 
trophy made from the skin of a human head (see pl. 87, a, 0) was found 
below it under the left shoulder. This specimen lay face upward 
and showed faint traces of a woven fabric that had been between it 
and the corpse; fastened to it were remnants of two strings, the ends 
of which extended in the direction of the “ mummy’s” neck. When 
the trophy was taken out, the underside was found to have the hair
