ON THE LAKE VILLAGE AT GLASTONBURY. 329 
Antler. (H.) 
284. Cheek-piece of horse’s bit, with two cylindrical perforations; similar to 
several others found previously in the village. Mound 57, 1904. 
285. Another smaller piece, similar to 292 as regards both ends. Mound 58, 1904. 
286. Roe-deer antler finely worked to a smooth point, and probably used as a 
modelling-tool in decorating pottery. Mound 55, 1904. 
287. End of deer’s tine, with one large transverse cylindrical hole; perhaps a 
cheek-piece of horse’s bit. Mound 79, 1904. 
288. Small fragment of worked antler, of circular plan and 15°5 mm. long; of 
unknown use. Mound 78, 1904. 
289. Implement of unknown use—a roughly made peg with a large head, consist- 
ing of the complete section of the antler. Mound 55, 1904. 
290. Piece of antler with squared ends and of oval cross-section; probably the 
handle of a heavy iron knife. Mound 78, 1904. 
291. Weaving-comb, which originally had nine teeth, the two outer ones being now 
deficient. At the other end it has a circular perforation for suspension. The comb 
is decorated with incised dot-and-circle ornaments in thirty-five places, without any 
systematic arrangement. Mound 78, 1904. 
292. Large piece of antler about 9 in. long; very smooth from prolonged use at 
and near the point ; the broad end shows the marks of the saw. Mound 64, 1904. 
293. Small fragment of roe-deer antler. Mound 78, 1904. 
294. Plain weaving-comb, having ten small teeth, all more or less broken. 
Mound 51, 1904. 
295. A slender tine of deer showing little signs of having been worked. 
Mound 51, 1904. 
Bone Objects. (B.) 
372. Dentated end of a long-handled weaving-comb, which had twelve teeth in 
its complete state. It is a very wide example (49 mm.). Ornamented with crossed 
lines and circle-and-dot pattern. Mound 55,1902. (Figured in ‘ Proc. Som. Arch. 
Soc.,’ vol. xlviii. pt. 2, pl. iii. fig. 7.) .- 
373. Metatarsus of sheep or goat, with condyles cut off at one end; at the 
articular end, an oval hole at top and another on side close to end. It could have 
been used as a kind of shuttle-spool in weaving—the thread being drawn off the 
bone as required for the weft and passing through the hole to prevent the unravel- 
ling of the wound-on thread. Mound 55,1902. (Figured in ‘ Proc. Som. Arch. Soc.,’ 
vol. xlviii. pt. 2, pl. iii. fig. 8.) 
374. Fragment of bone, showing part of a rough perforation. Mound 58, 1904, 
375. Two, similar to No. 373. Mound 78, 1904. A dozen or two of these objects 
have been found in the village. 
376. Complete needle, more or less pointed at both ends; very much polished 
from continual use ; length, 62 mm. The width of the needle increases from both 
ends towards the eye, which is circular (3 mm. in diam.). Mound 64, 1904. 
377 and 378. Two pieces of metacarpal or metatarsal bones of sheep or goat, 
each about 1 inches long and each having three transverse circular holes through the 
bone on the flat sides. Probably used in weaving ; a lady who has seen them states 
that she has observed similar objects of bone used by weavers in the North of 
England, but she could not explain their precise purpose. Mound 54, 1904. 
379. Perforated head of femur (? human) ; perhaps a spindle-whorl. Mound 33, 
1904. 
Stone Objects. (8.) 
(Other than complete Spindle-whorls and Querns). 
31, 32, 33. Small, flat, circular, polished pebbles, generally supposed to have 
been used in games. Mound 58, 1904. 
34 and 35. Two flat, almost circular, discs of sandstone ; probably spindle-whorls 
in process of formation. Mound 78, 1904. 
36. Thin, flat, smooth piece of sandstone, with incipient hole ; perhaps a spindle- 
whorl in process of manufacture, although the object—in its present state—is, in 
plan, an irregular oval. Mound 78, 1904. 
37. Large and fairly thick sandstone disc, with incipient hole in centre of one 
face ; probably intended for a spindle-whorl. Mound 78, 1904.
