below the plus 3 called ~ of the row (2) above, but is set one step to

The weave as here given is from the middle of the bag, and the 
pattern is diagonal. Some change in the arrangement of the rows 
at a higher level seems to throw the pattern in the other diagonal 
direction, and there are some indications that the design as a whole 
was made up of diamond-shaped figures. How these changes were 
effected cannot be ascertained, but enough has been said to make 
clear the extraordinary elaborateness of the weave. <A bit of fine 
textile, apparently of twilled work and possibly part of one of the 
bags, hed sewed to it a tiny black stone bead of the same sort as those 
found loose in the jar and the seed jar; it is probable that the others 
were once so used. These beads are a trifle more than a sixteenth of 
an inch in diameter. 
The little skin sacks (pl. 62, e, 7, 2, 2; fig. 68, a) were eleven in

number. Each one was made of a round piece of soft leather. The 
contents were placed in the center and the edges puckered together 
and tied with a cotton string. The puckered parts have resisted 
decay better than the tightly stretched bodies, so that seven of the 
specimens are represented by the necks only; four are perfect. All 
seven of the necks have particles of bright red paint adhering to 
their inner surfaces, and a considerable amount of the pigment in 
the form of fine grains was shaken out of them; more was recovered 
by sifting the rotting material in the bottom of the large jar. One 
of the perfect bags (pl. 62, 2) has split a little, disclosing as contents 
two turquoise beads; another (pl. 62, 7), the largest of the lot, is 
very heavy (it has not been opened). The remaining two (pl. 62, 
e, 7) were found in the small seed jar; pinholes driven into their 
sides show that they hold the same red paint as did the broken sacks. 
To the neck of A-1886, the only one whose pucker string is pre- 
served complete, is attached a small turquoise pendant (fig. 68, a). 
We think it probable that each of the red-paint sacks once had a
