HARRINGTON | DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIFACTS 107 
edge for 35 mm., the obverse and reverse sides scarcely at all. There is no 
reason to suppose that we do not have the entire artifact. (Pl. 19, a, 2.) 
Entire bone awl or pin. Obverse outside. 164 mm, long, 15 mm. wide, 7 mm, 
thick. Fresh and strong bone. The edges are worked throughout, being well 
rounded, the left edge much thinner than the right. The butt is a recent frac- 
ture but the natural end of the bone evidently extended only a few millimeters 
beyond it. The obverse and reverse begin to taper only 14 mm. from the tip. 
The extreme tip is broken off. There is also an irregular fracture off the left 
edge near the tip. (PI. 19, a, 3.) 
Butt fragment of bone awl or pin. Obverse outside. 94 mm. long, 16.5 mm. 
wide, 3 mm. thick. The original butt is partly intact but a large flake is 
broken off its central portion on the obyerse side. The edges are nicely rounded 
and perfectly straight, but start to taper more abruptly in the immediate 
vicinity of the tip fracture. The specimen was evidently very similar to the one 
last described, but more neatly made. (Pl. 19, a, 4.) 
Entire bone awl with asphalt handle still intact. Made of tubular long bone. 
55.5 mm, long, 23 mm. wide, 18.5 mm. thick. The asphalt handle extends from 
the butt for 24.5 mm. A little of the end of the bone sticks through the asphalt 
at the butt. The asphalt is black and smooth surfaced. The beveling com- 
mences 27 mm. from the tip. The taper of the left edge commences 25 mm. 
from the tip. The edges are straight, the tip sharp. This and the other awls 
shown in Plate 19 are such as were used in basket making. (PI. 19, a’, 1.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 72.5 mm. long, 7 mm, wide, 5 mm. thick. 
The shaft and butt are entirely unworked and the butt is the joint end of a 
long bone. The tip tapers from all sides beginning 17 mm. back and is sharp 
and symmetrical. The specimen is somewhat triangular in section, the reverse 
consisting of the interior trough of the bone. (PI. 19, a’, 2.) 
Entire bone awl except that perhaps 3 mm. of the tip is missing. Obverse 
outside. 94 mm. long, 23 mm, wide, 11 mm. thick. The butt is the old joint 
end of the bone. The tip starts to taper from all sides commencing 40 mm. back, 
almost half,the length of the specimen. The extreme tip is round in section. 
(PI. 19, a’, 3.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 72.5 mm. long, 16 mm. wide, 11 mm. 
thick. The butt is formed by the old joint end. The beveling of the tip begins 
12 mm. back. There are some transverse hackings on the lower part of the 
obverse. The extreme tip is broken off, perhaps a couple of millimeters being 
lacking. (PI. 19, a’, 4.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 75 mm. long, 12.5 mm. wide, 5.5 mm. 
thick. The reverse consists of a prominent furrow. The tip is beveled from 
all sides from 30 to 35 mm. Extreme tip broken off. (Pl. 19, a’, 5.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 58 mm. long, 15 mm. wide, 11 mm. thick. 
The extreme two or three millimeters of the tip are broken off. The left edge 
is quite sharp in its central portion. The entire specimen tapers toward the 
point but the sharper taper of the edges sets in only 15 mm. back. 
(Pl. 19, a’ 6.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 48 mm. Jong, 11.5 mm. wide, 5 mm. 
thick. The butt is the old articulation. The reverse surface shows much 
sponginess The beveling to the tip starts 17 mm. back. Extreme tip broken 
Off.) SCE 195 a". 7.) 
Entire bone awl. Obverse outside. 83 mm. long, 20.5 mm. wide, 10 mm. 
thick. The butt is the old joint. The tip tapers more sharply, starting 15 
mm. back. The reverse consists of a single furrow from the old inside of 
the long bone, Tip intact. (PI. 19, a’, 8.)
