Bones of the mountain sheep, cottontail, and jack rabbit were by 
far the commonest; deer and pronghorn antelope occurred rather 
sparingly.

BODY CLOTHING 
As to the body clothing of the people we gathered very little data. 
Feather- and fur-cloth blankets were probably the standard over- 
garments for cold weather, but we found no trace of jackets of 
feather cloth such as are reported by Hough from the upper Gila.? 
The cotton cloth, of which so many rags were collected, seems to have 
been used for shirt-like garments, as many of the pieces show cut- 
ting on the bias, sewing together of edges, apertures for armholes 
and other evidences of tailoring. Bits of deerskin and mountain- 
sheep hide, some dressed with the hair on, some without, show signs 
of sewing with sinew thread as if for use as fitted clothing; nothing 
large enough for description was collected. From Ruin 9 came part 
of a breechclout of fiber (A-1705) ; it is identified as such by means 
of perfect examples (presumably from the Canyon de Chelly) in the 
Peabody Museum. A skulleap (7) of coiled work without founda- 
tion jn yucca cord was discovered in Ruin 2 (p. 24 and pl. 34, a). 
It is, so far as we know, the only textile cap that has yet been found 
in the Southwest. Nordenskidld, however, describes a leather cap 
found on the head of a “mummy” at Step House, Mesa Verde.? 
FOOTGEAR 
For the study of footgear much material was gathered in the 
form of leggings, moccasins, and particularly sandals. 
Leggings, or fragments of them, were found in Ruins Y, 5, and 9. 
They are all of the same type and weave, tubular stockings netted 
with the stitch called by Mason “coil work without foundation.” 
The best preserved example (pl. 34, 0, Ruin 9) is of child’s or small 
adult’s size, 12 inches long. It reached to the knee and is shaped 
to fit the calf of the leg. The upper part of the foot is also shaped 
and was probably designed for attachment to the border loops of a 
sandal. The material is yucca string wound with feathers.. The 
fragmentary specimens (A-1396 and A-1541, Ruins 2 and 5) seem 
to have been similar, but perhaps larger; they differ, furthermore, 
in that the string of which they are netted contains deer or mountain- 
sheep hair so twisted between the strands that it fluffs out in all 
directions. This hair has now been almost wholly eaten away by
