Acorns (A-2485) were found mixed with the corn in the Cave II 
cache. 
Pinon nuts were discovered in the rubbish of Cave I and a con- 
siderable quantity of them (A-—2448) lay loose in the grass filling of 
a large cradle from Cave II (A-2447). 
Coreocarpus seeds (A—2309), in quantity about a peck, were taken 
from the bottom of Cist 4, Cave I. 
Dried fruit—A substance resembling pulverized dried fruit of 
some kind was found mixed with meal in a woven bag (A-2313) 
from one of the Cave I cists. 
Beans were not encountered in either year’s digging in Basket 
Maker caves. Whether or not this is the result of chance can only 
be told by further excavations in such sites. 
ANIMAL 
The débris in Caves I and II contained, queerly enough, very 
few animal bones, and these were all slivers too small for positive 
identification. The abundance of pieces of deerskin and mountain- 
sheep hide, bunches of prepared sinew, and fragments of bird skin 
and feathers shows, however, that hunting must have furnished the 
people with a considerable part of their sustenance. A complete 
list of the bird identifications is given in the section on feather- 
work; the species most likely to have been used as food were the 
greater yellowlegs and Hutchins’ wild goose. 
In regard to the domestication of the turkey we are in doubt. 
We found no beds of turkey droppings and feathers such as form 
part of the rubbish of nearly every cliff-house. Furthermore, the 
normal Cliff-house turkey-feather cloth is not represented in our 
Basket Maker collection. As in the case of beans, however, further 
investigation is necessary before we can state positively that tur- 
keys were not domesticated. 
Dress 
BODY CLOTHING 
Robes of fur cloth were evidently the standard overgarment for 
cold weather. They were commonly used to wrap up the bodies of 
the dead for interment; fragments of them came from almost every 
burial cist. Nothing approaching a complete example, however, 
was collected. 
Skin robes were found over the two child “mummies” recovered 
in Cists I and C, Cave I (see pl. 73, a). They were made of moun- 
tain-sheep hide tanned with the hair on. While both were of small 
size, it is probable that larger ones were in use by adults.
