HARRINGTON | DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIFACTS Ol 
FRAGMENT OF RINGSTONE 
Fragment of a ringstone, about a quarter section, made of hard calcareous 
sandstone. This is the only ringstone specimen taken from the mound. The 
material is smooth textured, the fractures old. Fragment 68 mm. long, 41 
mm. wide, 22 mm. thick. The original was perhaps 110 mm. diameter. (PI. 
14) ad.) 
BARREL-SHAPED STONES 
Cylindrical stone with bulging center and rounded ends. Coarse gray sand- 
stone. 108 mm. long, 50 mm. diameter at the center, ends 26 mm. diameter, 
bulge of ends 7 mm. Purchased from Mr. José Ortega, who obtained it from 
Burton Mound in 1901. (PI. 14, e.) 
INCISED SLAB OF PAPER SHALE 
Slab of shale with scratchings on both surfaces. The shale ig almost fine 
enough to be called slate. The surface is blackish but takes on an orange color 
almost like a lichenous layer in places on both sides. The scratches are not 
deep but one can feel them with the finger. The scratches are intended to give 
a cross-hatching pattern but are very irregularly executed. The edges of the 
slab are squared with straight fractures, making the fragment four-sided in 
shape. 101.5 mm. long, 82 mm. wide, 8.5 mm. thick. (Pl. 14, a.) 
TARRED STONES 
Unworked sandstone or andesite pebbles of pestle-like shape with 
asphalt on one or both ends were found especially at plot e. Typical 
specimens may be described as follows: 
Tarred stone, of gray sandstone, unworked. 136.5 mm. long, 53.9 mm. wide, 
50.8 mm. thick. Asphalt adheres to the upper end of the stone as figured.
