figure 74—a is actinolitic schist, 6 red jasper, ¢ satin spar. No tur- 
quoise pendants were found. The pointed lgnite objects (fig. 75) 
were taken from the two sides of the skull of an infant in Cist D, and 
presumably were worn as ear ornaments. Shell pendants were com- 
mon, but are less varied 
in shape than those of 
stone, being plain round 
or oval plates of abalone 
(haliotis), one-half to 
three-fourths inch in diam- 
eter, perforated for sus- 
pension. 
Beads are of stone, shell, 
and bone. That great 
quantities of them were 
found in the undisturbed 
cists at Sayodneechee, and that practically none was recovered from 
the rifled burial places in Cave I, Kinboko, seems to lend color to 
our theory that beads were the principal object of the plunderers. 
The stone beads are made of lignite, limestone, serpentine, pic- 
rolite, hematite, albatite, and calcareous tufa.’ 
Particularly striking is the large number of lignite 
beads, some highly polished and still retaining 
their fine black luster (pl. 70, 7, m, 0). 
There are two kinds of beads: the cylindrical 
and the hemispherical. The former are all made 
of black albatite, a phase of asphaltic shale; they 
are a little less than three-sixteenths inch in diam- 
eter, with fine straight bores not more than one

eter and cylindrical in form. 
Hemispherical stone beads are much larger, averaging seven- 
sixteenths inch in diameter. The biconical nature of the large bore 
is shown in figure 76, a,b (see also pl. 70,7). Hematite and serpentine
