Objects ofAntltr. (H.) 



4. Cylindrical piece of polished antler, length 65 mm. ; perhaps the handle of a 

 tool; diameters 21 by 18 mm. 



9. Awl-handle of antler, with remains of iron tang protruding from one end ;

II. Greater part of a tine, smooth, and bearing saw-marks; length on the curve 

 160 mm. 



12. Piece of antler with projecting tine, very smooth, and bearing indications of 

 saw-marks and knife-cuts. 



1. Weaving-comb, having eight teeth, tapering in length from one side to the 

 other. They show the usual groovings and figns of wear. The shaft is highly 

 polished, the ornamentation consisting only of two transverse lines at the base of 

 the teeth. The handle-end has been damaged, and bears indications of having been 

 gnawed. Length 114 mm. 



2. Double-ended weaving-comb, much weathered and devoid of ornament. Very 

 few combs of this type were found in the Glastonbury Village. 8ix coarse but com- 

 plete teeth remain at one end , there were seven teeth at the other end, of which 

 one only now remains complete. Length 186 mm. 



3. The handle-end of a weaving-comb, found in four fragments, some beino- 

 f) feet apart. The handle of this comb was considerably curved. TJie ornamentation 

 consists of a double zigzag pattern along the length of the handle similar to that 

 on H6 and E 6. Length of remaining part 113 mm. 



5. Weaving-comb, repaired and now almost complete. Of the nine original teeth 

 seven remain complete. Like H 1, they taper in length, although not to such a 

 great extent. The handle is highly ornamented with zigzag grooves, four deep, 

 extending from both sides and forming lozenge-shaped interspaces down the middle 

 and triangles along the sides. The five lozenges are filled with single dots-and- 

 circles measuring 11 mm. in diameter ; the two side triangles nearest the handle-end 

 likewise have the large dots-and-circles. Length 160 mm. 



6. Handle of a weaving-comb which once had eight teeth. The butt-end exhibits 

 signs of considerable wear. The ornamentation consists of a double zigzag pattern 

 along the length of the handle similar to that on H 3 and E 6. Present length 138 mm. 



7. Handle-end of a weaving-comb of very unusual form, the sides of the oblong 

 enlargement (which sometimes occurs in these combs) being deeply notched on the 

 cnrve. Double lines crossed occupy the two compartments marked off for orna- 

 mentation.
