80 EXPLORATION OF BURTON MOUND [ETH. ANN, 44 
Tip fragment of pestle of gray sandstone, rather coarse textured; 136.5 mm. 
long, 53.9 mm. diameter. 
Entire pestle of gray Sandstone, smooth textured; 155.5 mm. long, 47.6 mm. 
diameter. Part of the original butt and also part of the original tip are 
intact. 
Entire pestle of buff gray sandstone, 101.6 mm. long, 57.1 mm. diameter. 
Tip bulges 15.8 mm. 
Entire pestle of yellow ochre colored sandstone, rather coarse-textured but 
hard; 190.5 mm. long, 66.6 mm. diameter. Bulge of butt 12.7 mm. This is the 
most pronouncedly curved pestle in the collection. 
Entire pestle of greenish gray smooth textured sandstone; 150.8 mm. long, 
39.6 mm. diameter. Bulge of butt, 12.7 mm. 
Entire pestle of gray sandstone, 390.5 mm. long, 66.6 mm. diameter. Bulge 
of butt, 23.8 mm. The tip is enlarged at the end, having a diameter of 
36.5 mm. 
Entire pestle of gray sandstone, rather limy in texture and friable; 676.2 
mm. long, 44.4 mm. diameter at the butt, 55.5 mm. diameter at the center, 33.3 
mm. diameter at a distance of 38.1 mm. from the tip, at which distance the 
tapering of the tip starts. Bulge of butt, 12.7 mm. One side of the tip is 
broken off, slanting with a fracture 31.7 mm. long, but enough of the tip remains 
to show that it was rounding and quite sharp. The specimen was found 
broken in two, the break being 263.5 mm. from the butt. This rather remark- 
able specimen is by far the longest pestle recovered from Burton Mound and 
is so slender that it can not have been put to any violent use in pounding. 
(Pl. 8, h.) 
Entire pestle of gray sandstone; 174.6 mm. long, 50.8 mm. diameter. Bulge 
of butt 14.2 mm. The extremity of the tip is enlarged and measures 31.7 mm. 
diameter. Neatly made. 
Wntire pestle of gray sandstone, smooth textured; 498.4 mm. long, 638.5 mm. 
diameter. Bulge of butt 9.5 mm. There is a ferrule 39.6 mm, diameter and 
15.8 mm. wide, 44.4 mm. from the extreme tip. A companion specimen to that 
next described below. (PI. 8, 7.) 
Entire pestle of gray sandstone, smooth textured; 495.3 mm. long, 69.8 mm. 
diameter. Bulge of butt 9.5mm. There is a grooved ferrule 44.4 mm. diameter 
and 25.4 mm. wide, 26.9 mm. from the extreme tip. (Pl. 8, k.) 
Entire pestle of gray sandstone, 247.6 mm. long, 60.8 mm. diameter. Bulge 
of butt 12.7 mm. (PI. 8, ec.) 
Entire pestle of friable gray sandstone; 133.3 mm. long, 57.1 mm. diameter. 
Bulge of butt 15.8 mm. 
Butt fragment of pestle of greenish gray sandstone, 88.9 mm. long, 57.1 mm. 
diameter. Bulge of butt 12.7 mm. The surface of the pestle extending from the 
tip fracture 31.7 mm, is coated with asphalt which bears the imprint of per- 
pendicular splints of some sort, evidently from a former mending of the speci- 
men. There are 66 of these depressions in the asphalt. 
Butt fragment of gray sandstone pestle. 76.2 mm. long, 38.1 mm. diameter. 
Bulge of butt 7.9 mm. 
Butt fragment of brownish gray sandstone pestle, 100 mm, long, 41.2 mm. 
diameter. Bulge of butt 11.1 mm. The reverse surface is a fracture. 
Butt fragment of greenish gray sandstone pestle, 92 mm. long, 63.5 mm. diam- 
eter. Bulge of butt 9.5mm. The reverse side is a flat cleavage. (PI. 8, f.) 
Entire pestle of greenish gray sandstone, hard textured. The pestle is beau- 
tifully made and has a polished surface 203.2 mm, long, 61.9 mm, diameter.
