HARRINGTON] DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIFACTS 165 
is 13 mm. long, 9.5 mm. maximum diameter, 5.5 mm. minimum diam- 
eter. The hole is 2 mm. diameter. There is a hexagonal dentalium 
bushing in one end of the hole, but the other end of the hole never 
had any bushing. (Pl. 26, p.) 
Oxssects OF VEGETAL MATERIAL 
Although special care was taken in the excavation of the graves 
for the detection of the remains of the stumps of grave posts which 
no doubt originally existed at the cemetery site, no such traces were 
discovered. The only wooden object recovered in the entire work 
of the expedition was a wooden awl (pl. 21, d). The asphalt of 
certain arrowheads and that adhering to one of the flint knives indi- 
cate that the wooden portions were intact at the time of burial. For 
evidence of twined basketry in asphalt imprint see page 106. 
WOODEN AWL 
Unique and alone in its class is a specimen of awl of a species of 
wood not yet identified, which through a freak of fate survived in 
the ground and was taken from the trench which followed the north 
wall of the Burton adobe house. Such awls of wood are known to 
have been used by the Indians and it was therefore gratifying to 
recover this specimen. 
The awl is entire and measures 82 mm. long, 9.5 mm. wide, 8 mm. 
thick. The tip is slender and sharp, the butt rounding, it being 
largely formed by a diagonal cut. The side of the awl exhibits two 
natural longitudinal grooves. Such awls were used in basketry in 
much the same way as the bone awls of similar size and shape.

Ossects or Mopern MANUFACTURE 
We found many fragments of Spanish tile, apparently from the 
floor and roof of the early adobe house, also some important Spanish 
objects of brass, interesting lead bullets of an early type, two early 
hand-blown greenish glass bottles, modern pottery fragments and 
glass beads. The most typical of these articles are described below. 
SPANISH FLOOR TILES 
Almost entire Spanish floor tile, 51.8 cm. square, 47.6 mm. thick. 
Many other fragments of floor tiles were recovered. The obverse is 
the smoother surface and shows signs of wear. (Pl. 27, d.) 
FRAGMENTARY SPANISH ROOF TILES 
A considerable quantity of fragments of roof tiles was recovered.
