TORCHES 
Our few specimens do not differ from the Cliff-dwelling examples, 
being merely rolls of cedar bark tied up with yucca and charred at 
the ends. Two of them are shown in plate 80, a, 0.

BRUSHES 
From Cave I came three brushes quite different from the simple 
bunches of stiff fibers found in the cliff-houses. They are tiny little 
contrivances made in the following manner: A bundle of stiff plant 
fibers was bound together a little to one side of the middle, the 
short end of the bundle forming a core over which the long end was 
folded back until the tips of both ends were even with each other; 
this was done in such a way as completely to 
surround the core, to which the folded-back 
portion was firmly bound by a second wrap- 
ping (see fig. 79). In one example (pl. 74, 
e, f) an extra tie was applied, running ver- 
tically from the butt and through the bristles; 
this specimen is the smallest, 12 inches in 
length; the other two are 2 inches and 24 
inches long, respectively. These little objects 
were evidently used as hair brushes, as strands 
of human hair are still entangled in their 
bristles. The type, though not found so far in 
the cliff-dwellings, is a widespread one among 
Fic. 79.—Section of fiber the Indians of northern Mexico, the Pima of 
i eaees Arizona, and various California tribes. The 
accompanying illustration (pl. 74, a-d) shows our three speci- 
mens and one of similar construction from San Luis Potosi.

BASKETRY 
TWILLED BASKETRY 
We do not know whether twilled ware, in the form of the yucca 
ring basket so common in the cliff-dwellings, was or was not pro- 
duced by the Basket Makers. No specimens were found in excavat- 
ing the two caves if we except the somewhat doubtful example from 
Cist 9, Cave I (p. 79). In the Grand Gulch collections in the 
American Museum, however, there are numerous ring baskets, as well 
as a small-mouthed twiiled basket of yucca. These are figured by 
Pepper as of Basket Maker origin,! but it should be remembered that 
this lot of Grand Gulch material is a mixture of both Basket Maker
