Wooden Objects. (X.) 
71. Piece of worked oak, one end damaged, part of a larger object. Mound 85. 
The piece was 37 inches long, with an average width of 6 inches, tapering for 
9 inches towards the complete end to 2 inches. The upper surface flat, the lower 
slightly convex; the inner border concave, the outer convex. Projecting from the 
inner concave border at right angles to the upper surface was a tongue 38 inches 
high beginning at 114 inches from the perfect end and running the entire length of 
the piece. In cross-section the tongue was plano-convex. The use of the piece is 
unknown, Two objects of somewhat similar outline were discovered during the 
excavations of 1894. 
73 Plug or stopper cut out of one piece of oak; the greatest length measured 
33, inches, and the greatest width 13, inches. The transverse section was circular ; 
at a distance of 12 inch from the lerger end the wood was notched in from 3, to 
3 inch deep, forming a shoulder; the diameter of the plug at this level measured 
13, inch, gradually tapering towards the small end to 2 inch. Meund 66 
74. Piece of worked oak part of a larger object; greatest length 22 inches; 
greatest width 6 inches. In cross-section it was plano-convex and 33 inches deep; 
at 33 inches from the complete end the convex surface of the wood was semi- 
circularly notched in for 13 inch; at 2 inches from the complete end it was cut 
again to form a squared mortise, 2 inches deep by 1 inch wide. Mound 13. A 
similar piece of oak with one end notched and mortised was found in Mound 9 
during the excavations of 1896.
