KIDDER-GUERNSEY} ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 161 
PERSONAL ORNAMENTS 
Necklaces of various kinds were evidently much worn, as almost 
every undisturbed Basket Maker skeleton yet found by us was pro. 
vided with one. We are inclined to believe, indeed, that the cists 
of Cave I were plundered primarily for the beads accompanying the 
interments in them. 
In the Sayodneechee cave the bodies were so badly decayed and so 
closely packed together that the make-up of individual necklaces 
could seldom be noted. From the neck of one skeleton (No. 7, Cist 
A), however, we recovered in its original order a string of heavy 
stone beads with a short pendant of similar beads (pl. 70,7). Like 
Tic. 72.—Necklace and neck cords. 
strings were with several of the bodies in Cist B, but could not be 
collected in order. Another common arrangement was a string of 
olivella shells passing once or twice about the neck. An ornament 
of this sort was found at the throat of the “mummy” in Cist 16, 
Cave I; it consisted of a double string of olivella shells (pl. 70, a) 
with a pendant of white limestone, through the middle of which 
there runs vertically a natural band of red color (pl. 70, e). 
The method by which many of the single pendants and pairs of 
pendants from Sayodneechee were probably once attached to the 
persons of their wearers is shown by a necklace taken from a little 
trinket basket in Cave I. This specimen is shown in figure 72, a; 
three white limestone pendants are hung to a short piece of heavy
