226 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1913. 
intended to represent a boar with long ears—unfortunately the facial 
portion has been broken, but it is seen that there was a perforation 
through the forehead. Along the back there is a groove in which a 
thin bronze crest was inserted, traces of which remain. In length the 
figure is about 24 in.; height over fore-legs about 14 in. It is similar 
in character to the series of bronze figures—three boars and two 
nondescript animals—found at Hounslow,’ and another boar found at 
Guilden Morden, Cambs. 
Crucibles.—Two fragments. 
Lead and Tin.—TIwo lumps of lead ore, and a flat, wide ring, 
perhaps containing a large percentage of tin. 
Iron.—The iron objects for the greater part are much corroded and 
included a fragmentary ring encased in thin bronze, part of a file, a 
punch or narrow chisel, and a large pointed bar, of square section, 
which may have been an earth-anvil. 
Kimmeridge Shale.—An earring; part of a vessel, or cup; a knife- 
cut armlet (split); and parts of lathe-turned armlets. 
Pottery.—Mound XIII. produced a large amount of pottery, the 
thicker and ruder wares being found chiefly in the substructure. The 
proportion of ornamented pottery was again large, but there is a great 
amount of restoration work to do before the designs can be fully 
described. One ornamented bowl was revealed in six pieces, which, 
when joined, will make the vessel practically complete. The greater 
part of a plain pot was discovered on the fourth floor of Mound XIII. 
Ornamented bases of pots were also found this season. 
Flint.—Chipped and polished celt, of Neolithic type, length 43 in. 
(the second stone axe from Meare); an arrowhead and part of another; 
a hammerstone; a dozen scrapers; two cores; and a large number of 
flakes, some of which were burnt. Of the flint flakes, 154 were col- 
lected from Mound XIII. and 16 from Mound III. 
Sling-stones.—Two hundred and seventeen were collected this 
season, including 89 from Mound III. and 75 from Mound XIII. 
Thirteen baked clay sling-bullets and four unbaked ones were also 
found. Ninety-one whetstones were collected, including 57 from 
Mound XIII. . 
Querns.—Several quern fragments were found, but only one com- 
plete saddle quern. 
Spindle-whorls.—Seven specimens, all of stone, were found this 
year in various stages of manufacture. 
Human Remains.—Humerus found in the fourth floor of 
Mound XIII. 
Animal Remains.—Plentiful, including several bird-bones. In the 
foundation of Mound XIII. a skeleton of roach (Leuciscus rutilus) was 
uncovered.
