as if for the reception of a cross stick. The length is 28? inches. 
A-1136, Ruin 1 (not figured), seems to be part of a similar object; 
the shaft, however, is burned 
away. The crook is held by a 
strong yucca tie, but it is less 
perfectly made, is larger,and the 
body is not so much cut away. 
Bow and arrow—wWhile 
neither bows nor whole arrows 
were recovered, there came to 
hight many fragments of the 
latter. They are all made of 
reeds and fitted with wooden 
foreshafts. The reed shafts re- 
ceived no attention beyond the 
removal of the leaves and some 
smoothing at the joints. They 
are from one-fourth to three- 
eighths inch in diameter; we 
have no data as to their length. 
The foreshafts, of tough wood, 
oak or greasewood, are 5 to 10 
inches long, the majority of 
them tapering to a plain and 
more or less sharp point (fig. 
47, c, d). We have only one or 
two specimens with notched ends 
and sinew wrappings to show 
that they were once furnished 
with stone tips (fig. 47, 6b). 
The only bunt-point was found 
in Ruin 7; it is made of a sec- 
tion of hollow bone (fig. 47, a). 
The foreshaft is always fitted 
into the reed shaft just above a 
joint, thus reducing the chances 
of splitting; it usually has an 
abruptly tapering butt that fits 
into the reed and a shoulder that 
prevents it from being pushed

A few examples, having no shoulder, taper less rapidly.’ Tight sinew 
wrappings are apphed about the shaft just below the ee? (fig.
