330 REPORT—1904., 
38 and 39. Two round discs of sandstone, both having incipient central holes, as if 
ultimately intended for spindle-whorls. Mound 54, 1904. 
Two burnishers were also found this year, a whetstone in Mound 54, and two 
smooth pebbles of oval form in Mound 55. 
Spindle-whorls. (W.) 
165. Ball of baked clay with hole extending partly through the object. 
Mound 78, 1904. (See No. 71, under ‘ Baked Clay.’) 
166. Sandstone spindle-whorl. Mound 53, 1904. 
167. Flat sandstone spindle-whorl. Mound 53, 1904. 
A small complete clay whorl was also found this year, and half of a baked clay 
spindle- whorl. 
Querns. (Q.) 
39. Lower stone of a nearly circular quern, averaging 12} inches in diam. at 
top. Mound 55, 1904. 
40. Upper stone of saddle-shaped quern, length 11Zinches. Mound 54, 1904. 
41. Fragment of upper circular quern. Mound 53, 1904. 
Pottery. (P.) 
163. Ornamental pot or bowl, found in about forty pieces, but now completely 
restored ; height 43 inches; max. diam. 7}inches; diam. at lip 6 inches. The decoration 
consists of a horizontal band of cross-hatching about 1 inch below the lip. Mound 58, 
1904. 
164. Small shallow earthenware pot, height 1 inch, ex. diam. at lip 24 inches. 
Probably used for mixing colouring matter. Mound 55, 1904. 
165. About one-half of a highly ornamented black pottery vessel or bowl, height 
42 inches. Ornamented over the greater part of the surface with chevrons and bands of 
cross-hatching ; there are no curvilinear lines in the decoration. The pottery averages 
7 mm. in thickness, and the pot is similar in form to No. 163. Mound 55, 1904. 
Several hundreds of fragments of pottery were found this year, as in 
previous years, but the proportional number of decorated fragments to 
those with no ornamentation was below the average this year. Nearly 
all the pottery was lathe-turned, but half a blackish-brown pot, found near 
Mound 55 (height 3 inches), was hand-made, and of such a rude character 
that if it had been found with relics of the Bronze Age we should pro- 
bably have had no hesitation in assigning it to that period. Chevrons 
and zigzag patterns predominated this year, and there was a paucity of 
curvilinear designs. It is hoped that the pottery designs of 1904 will be 
figured in the ‘ Proceedings of the Somersetshire Archeological Society’ 
later on. (Vol. 50.) 
Peas were found in some quantities in Mound 58, red colouring matter 
in Mounds 54 and 58, and vivianite at the bottom of Mound 57.

Since the meeting at Southport in 1903 the Authropometric Committee 
have been engaged in drawing up a standard list of dimensions to be 
measured. Considerable progress has been made with this work, but as it
