THE LAKE VILLAGES IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF GLASTONBURY. 273 
Querns.—An upper and a lower stone of rotary querns and frag- 
ments of others were found; also part of a saddle quern. 
Other Stone Objects.—Several sling-stones, found singly; about 
twenty whetstones; a pounder; ten small smooth pebbles (perhaps 
calcult); and a few flat discs, not perforated. A stone socket, formed 
from a water-worn slab of lias, presumably for the support of a wooden 
post, was also found. 
Spindle-whorls.—These objects haye now reached a total of forty- 
five. 
Baked Clay.—A few objects of baked clay were found, including 
parts of two triangular loom-weights, and some small balls, partly 
perforated. 
Pottery.—The shards were not so abundant as in former seasons, 
but the proportion of ornamented pieces was perhaps larger than usual, 
and the greater part of some pots was found. The treatment of the 
curvilinear designs, herring-bone patterns, the trumpet patterns, and 
the dot-and-circle ornaments fully exemplify the skill and artistic 
feeling of the Late-Celtic potter. Most of the pots bear indented 
designs, and some are ornamented by means of potter’s stamps and the 
roulette. Some of the pots are ornamented on the bottom, and several 
of the bases are perforated. 
Animal Remains.—Large quantities of mixed bones of domesticated 
animals, for the most part broken small, were, found in Mounds X. 
and XI., and on the first floor of Mound XIII. Few complete bones 
were dug up, and the remains of beaver, otter, and birds were not so 
plentiful this season. 
A few hazel-nuts were discovered in the foundations, and fragments 
of charred bun-shaped ‘ cakes,’ which await microscopical examination 
to determine the composition of the food.

tary.) 
Tue work has been confined to the making of a careful survey plan 
of the earthwork and stones forming the Avebury stone circle, the grant 
of 151. from the British Association having been applied for for this 
purpose. The survey has been made by Mr. H. St. George Gray, who 
was appointed by the Committee to carry out this work, which involved 
the completion of the survey of the whole monument, a portion of which
