180 ANTIQUITIES OF SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO [ETH. ANN. 33 
as five-eighths of an inch in breadth (pl. 50, 6). Several of them 
have a cord looped across near the back through which the heel of 
the wearer protruded. From the top of this a thong passed around 
the ankle. On the front end are two or more loops, which passed 
over certain of the toes. 
In one specimen (pl. 50, @) the cords are numerous, inclosing the 
foot like a meshwork slipper drawn together over the instep. In- 
side the lacing of one sandal corn husks have been arranged to form 
a covering for the foot comparable to the upper of a shoe. All the 
sandals show considerable wear, and several have been skillfully 
patched in the regions of the heel and the ball of the big toe. 
Of 20 specimens 8 show the offset on one side near the front 
described by Dr. Fewkes from a sandal found in Chiff Palace. 
MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES 
Plate 52. A is the neck of a basket of rather unusual weave and 
shape. B is a wooden hoop with a netlike attachment of yucca. 
It resembles the guards sometimes woven about coil-ware jars, but 
it is rather small to have been put to such a use. C is a torch of 
cedar bark wrapped with strips of yucca. One end has been - 
consumed. 
Plate 58. A is a bundle of feathers, presumably a prayer plume, 
and 6 a section of rush matting. C consists of the stubs of a number 
of ears of corn threaded upon a yucca cord. The Pueblos still 
string ears of green corn in this fashion and hang them up to dry. 
When an ear is wanted for use it is broken off, and when all have 
Leen consumed the string with the stubs attached is thrown away. 
DP is a bundle of corn husks of unknown use. Such bundles are 
very common. 
Plates 54, 55. Plate 54, a, is a small ball of finely divided yucca 
with a minute quantity of yellow earth in the center; 54, 6, is a 
twist of yucca; 54, c, and 55, c, are chains of yucca; 54, d, e, and: 55, 
b, are twists of the same material; 54, 7, is a bundle of herbs which 
thus far I have not been able to identify; 55, a, is a portion of a 
plaited band done in two colors; 55, d, is a loop of split willow tied 
across with yucca; 55, e, is a fragment of a coarse rush mat; 55, f, 
is a number of corncobs tied together with yucca. The use of none 
of these is known. 
SumMary 
From the foregoing discussion it appears that there existed in 
Johnson Canyon a typical example of the rather restricted culture
