Perforated stones. A name applied to 

 certain forms of prehistoric o])jects the 

 purpose of which is not fully determined. 



but so much is known or safely assumed 

 with respect to the majority of tho.^e in 

 collections that they may be removed 

 from the problematical class without dan- 

 ger of serious error. It is intended here 

 to refer only to such perforated objects as 

 may not with safety be regarded as spin- 

 dle whorls, drill disks, sinkers, ear orna- 

 ments, and beads. Perforated stones are 

 widely distnl)uted over the country, but 

 are not found in considerable numbers 

 save in s. California, where they are very 

 numerous and display considerable diver- 

 sity of form and size. They are found 

 with burials and also on occupied sites 

 generally, and are made of stone of 

 many varieties and of differing degrees of 

 hardness. A prevailing form throughout 

 the country is somewhat ring-like, and 

 the name "doughnut-stone," sometimes 

 applied, is sufficiently descriptive. Many 

 of them are only ordinary water- worn 

 pebbles or bowlders, unworked exceptfor 

 the hole drilled through the shortest di- 

 ameter or for some slight alteration in the 

 direction of greater symmetry, others are 

 of various degrees of elaboration, and a 

 few show incised decorative lines. Few 

 are finished, however, in such a way as 

 to suggest decidedly that they were other 

 than mere objects of common use. It is 

 not assumed that all of these perforated 

 objects served like or even kindred pur- 

 poses, and similar objects are known to 

 have been used in different parts of the 

 world for club-heads, hammers, sinkers, 

 missiles, as weights for digging sticks, in 

 playing games, etc. The California speci- 

 mens, however, on account of the uni- 

 formitj' of their essential features and the 

 very general traces of wear, may well be 

 regarded as having served a single pur- 

 pose, and that a practical one. They 

 vary from highly conical or globular 

 forms to flatfish rings or disks, and in 

 size from such as might have served as 

 beads to others weighing 3 or 4 pounds. 

 The inajority are of medium or large size. 

 The perforation is usually somewhat 

 l)iconical and a little larger at one end 

 than at the other, and varies from ^ to IJ 

 in. in diameter at the narrowest part. In 

 most cases the perforation is polished or 

 worn smooth by use and in such a way as 

 practically todemonstrate that the objects 

 were mounted on sticks or handles, and 

 that thus mounted they were subjected 

 to prolonged usage as implements. It 

 is further observed that one face of the 

 flatfish forms became polished in this use 

 from the perforation outward to the pe- 

 riphery, and the globular and conical ones 

 for an inch or more outward and down- 

 ward from the opening. This use was so 

 gentle and involved surfaces so soft that a 

 high polish resulted, without the least 

 tendency to abrade or roughen. In fact 

 this polishing is just such as would result
