KIDDER-GUERNSEY] ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 151 
similar appendage, for six necks were found in the large jar, also six 
pendants and beads of turquoise; in the small seed jar were two paint 
bags (besides the one that retains its turquoise), and here also were 
found two loose pendants—one of turquoise and one of jadeite. 
The red paint itself is a rather coarse powder, the grains of 
which under a strong lens have a waxy appearance; in color it is 
an extremely brilliant scarlet. According to Professor Wolff, the 
substance is realgar (arsenic monosulphide),a material to be found at 
volcanic vents or hot springs. It would be interesting to know where 
the nearest place is at which such phenomena occur; we know of 
none in the immediate region. 
The lignite “button” (pl. 62, %; fig. 69) is not quite 3 inches 
in diameter by one-fourth inch thick. AIl its surfaces are beauti- 
fully polished. A ridge has been left on the back, and two holes 
have been drilled in slantingly from its sides, meeting in the middle.? 
The little cylinder of manganese ore (pl. 62, m) is 1? inches long; 
it shows great care in shaping, and one end 
is worn down all around as if by much 
rubbing, perhaps for the extraction of 
paint from it. As the two disks of green- 
stone, or prase (pl. 62, 0, p; fig. 68, 6), 
have no means of attachment, it seems 
likely that they were designed for inlays; 
their larger surfaces are very slightly con- 
vex. The three two-lobed beads of white 
stone are of an unusual shape; strung to- 
gether, they give the effect of a double string 
(fig. 68, c). Identical specimens, collected at Pueblo Bonito by Prof. 
W. K. Morehead, are in the Musuem of Phillips Academy, Andover. 
All the stone pendants save one are of turquoise, their front sur- 
faces streaked with a gray trachyte matrix, while the backs of some 
of them consist entirely of layers of this material (see pl. 62, 7-4, 
v—-w,; fig. 68, d). The exception (pl. 62, 7) is a small, highly polished 
bit of jadeite, perforated for suspension. The color is a deep green 
and the specimen is-slightly translucent. This is the only case of 
the occurrence of jadeite in the Southwest of which we have 
knowledge. 
The other objects from the cache pot need no particular descrip- 
tion; they are interesting because of their variety—olivella shells, 
pieces of azurite and malachite, squash seeds, kernels of corn, pollen 
in little corn husk (?) containers, bundles of herbs, a bit of charcoal, 
and a dried gooseberry. The association of things of such diverse 
nattire appears to us to indicate that the cache was ceremonial in 
nature.

Colorado.
