418 REPORTS OJf THE STATE OP SCIENCE, 



8. Paris of a weaving-comb of which the remains of five teeth are still 

 seen ; the handle much weathered ; no ornament beyond a transverse groove indicat- 

 ing the depth to which the teeth were to be cut. 



10. Weaving-comb having eight of its original nine sharp teeth remaining, 

 which, like H 1, has longer teeth on one side than the other. The perforation for 

 suspension is 6 mm. in diam. The ornamentation consists of a pair of transverse 

 grooves at both ends of the shaft, with triple transverse grooves at irregular 

 intervals between ; two of the interspaces are partly filled by a single diagonal line. 

 Length 140 mm. 



Iron Objects. (J.) 



1.' Fragment, probably of a knife, covered with vivianite. 



2. Two pieces of iron much corroded, of quadrangular section ; probably the 

 greater part of a Late Celtic door-key. 



3. A large piece of iron band, or hoop-iron, varying in width from 40 to 50 mm., 

 and having one circular perforation. 



4. Five pieces of corroded iron, two of which may be parts of the key, J 2. 



Kimmeridffe Shale. (K.) 



1. One-half of a lathe-turned armlet, which, when complete, was 92 mm. in 

 ext. diam. Unornamented ; section, oval, flatter on the inner than on the outer 

 face. 



2. Armlet (or anklet?), highly polished and lathe-turned. Ext. diam. 05 mm. 

 (about 3| inches). It was split obliquely in one place when found; otherwise com- 

 plete. The section of the shale is oval, flatter on the inner than on the outer face 

 (dimensions 105 by 7 5 mm.). Two heavier shale armlets, with external diameters 

 of 97 and 109 mm. respectively, were found in the Glastonbury Lake Village. 



Animal Bones. (N.) 



1. Metacarpus of sheep or goat, with an enlarged distal end, apparently the 

 result of disease. The bone has been polished, and shows a transverse notching on 

 both sides (with slight grooves — see C 7) near the large end. 



2, 4, 5. Part of lower jaw with teeth and other bones of beaver. (Some of the 

 bones, otter?) 



3. Horn cores of Bos longifrons, goat and sheep. 

 6. Small lower jaw, not yet identified. 



Pottery. (P.) 



Th3 pottery has already been spoken of at the end of Part 1. of this Report. A 

 large proportion of the fragments are ornamented with designs typical of the period, 

 nearly all being represented in the Pottery Series from the Glastonbury Village. 

 Similar designs have been found in Somerset, but much less frequently, on Ham Hill 

 (near Stoke-under-Ham), at Worlebury and Cannington Park Camps, and in Wookey 

 Hole. The fragments from Meare for the most part belonged to small vessels. One 

 piece with a ' cordon ' reminds one of the vases from the Aylesford urn-field. 



Querns. (Q.) 



1, 3. Upper stone of saddle-shaped querns. 



4, 5. Fragments of lower stones of saddle-shaped querns. 



2. Fragment of lower stone of round quern. 



Stotie Objects. (S.) 

 1, 15, 18. Hammerstones. 



2-13, 16, 17, 19, 20. Whetstones, chiefly of sandstone. 

 14. Small thin disc of lias, with a perforation 11 mm. in diam. 



21. Waterworn block of lias, with a chipped circular depression 3| inches in diam. 



22. Piece of calcined (?) lias, with perforation. 



23. Two small waterworn pebbles, perhaps used in games. 



Tusks and Teeth. (T.) 



1, Boar's tusk, with circular perforation (diam. 4 mm.) for suspension. 



2, 4. Five other boars' tusks. 



3, 5. Two teeth, pig and dog.
