CRYSTAL RIVER REVISITED. 425 
Seventy-eight pointed implements of bone, made, as a rule, from the саппоп- 
bone of the deer, split longitudinally, were unearthed during our second visit. 
Some doubtless were used as piercing implements, while some with flatter points 
probably served in basketry. Two slender implements, round in cross-section, 
show various small grooves at one end, worn by attachment of thread or fine cord. 
Among the pointed implements of bone are a number of lancets from the tails of 
sting-rays (Zrygon). These objects, with their keen points, are admirably suited 
for use as piercing implements for which doubtless they were employed. Excluded 
from our enumeration of implements of bone were very many decayed fragments 
which in the past, no doubt, belonged to entire implements. 
With finished implements often were unfinished ones, cannon-bones split longi- 
tudinally but not pointed. 
Part of a lower jaw, which Prof. F. A. Lucas kindly has identified as belong- 
ing to the Virginia deer (Odocoztleus virginzanus), had been smoothed somewhat at 
its lower surface; the foramen had been considerably enlarged and all that side of 
the jaw in front of the four back molars had been cut away. 
In several instances knuckle-bones of deer lay piled together. 
Variously associated were: turtle-shells; five vertebrae of an unidentified fish, 
found together; a vertebra which Professor Lucas considers probably to have 
belonged to a grampus (Grampus griseus). 
Professor Lucas has identified certain bones from the Crystal River place of 
burial as follows: “The front of cranium of carnivore and jaws, are from the same 
animal, the short-faced dog something like a bull-terrier that seems to have been a 
favorite with the Indians of the south and southwest." 
As full details of the association of all objects found during the second inves- 
tigation would occupy undue space, certain selected examples only will be given. 
А skeleton lying full length on the back had, near the proximal end of the 
right humerus, a shell pendant. Three marine shells (Ода Ziterata), perforated 
for use as beads, were at the right elbow. 
Another skeleton, also at full length on the back, had, under the legs, sheets 
of mica; sand, some tinged with hematite, some with limonite. Below the skull 
were: more pink sand; a pendant of limestone; a slab of compaet rock as to the 
identity of which there is considerable doubt; one shell pendant; one pendant of 
a hard stone not found in Florida; four rudely triangular gorgets made from the 
body-whorl of Fulgur, each with one hole for suspension,—the two smaller orna- 
ments lying within the larger ones; a rude section of shell with a central semiper- 
foration. Under the head of one femur was an annular gorget of shell with a 
projection for suspension and having incised concentrie circles on the convex side. 
Still another full-length skeleton had at the left forearm, in a small pile, six 
astragali of the deer and two shells (O/zva literata) perforated for suspension. 
At the head of a skeleton partly flexed on the left side was a shell drinking- 
cup within a turtle-shell and a neatly-made shell pendant within another drinking- 
cup of shell.
