SOME ABORIGINAL SITES. 465 
On the vertebrae, below the chest, were three parts of a winged stone of 
quartz (Plate IX, B), representing about half the ornament. It is very unlikely 
that the remainder of this object had been with the fragments found, as our 
digger had come upon a part of the skeleton remote from where the object lay, 
without disturbing the bones, which were entirely removed with a trowel. More- 
over, all the surrounding soil was conscientiously sifted without success. Here 
we have another instance of ceremonial breaking apart from the burial and 
failure to inter all the fragments. No netting needle was found with this winged 
stone, though later in the digging we met this type associated with a netting needle. 
Burial No. 101, a child having shell beads at the neck. 
Burial No. 103, closely flexed to the left. At the face was an ornament of 
copper, 6 inches long, centrally perforated and somewhat resembling a bar 
amulet in outline. Shell beads, including a barrel-shaped one of jet, were at 
the neck. 
Burial No. 104, partly flexed to the left. At the right wrist were discoidal 
shell beads and perforated river univalves (Anculosa prerosa). Evidently 
strung with these beads were eight canine teeth of the wolf, having each a per- 
foration in the proximal end. 
Burial No. 105, a young child. Around the neck were a few shell beads and 
two of the curved strips of shell common at this place, one somewhat shorter 
than the other, as we sometimes found them; also two canine teeth of the wolf, 
each having two perforations in line at the proximal end. 
At the left shoulder was a netting needle of antler too badly decayed for 
exact restoration, and its sizer of banded claystone (Plate XI, F). 
Burial No. 109, a child. At the neck were shell beads and one of jet accom- 
panied with a large shell bead, evidently a companion piece. On the chest, 
probably having been suspended from the bead necklet, was a gorget of shell, 
badly erushed, having had a small, rude decoration of three parallel lines en- 
closing two rows of punctate marks. | 
Burial No. 110, closely flexed to the left. At the neck and on the upper 
part of the chest were shell beads and two beads of jet. At each side of the 
head was a curved, perforated strip of shell, of the kind common at the Knoll, 
seemingly ear-ornaments in this instance. 
Burial No. 113. Closely flexed on the left. At the left side of the thorax 
was a small quantity of hematite pigment. 
Burial No. 114, a young child, having a necklet of shell beads interspersed 
with four perforated, canine teeth of the bob-eat (Lynx rufus). With the beads, 
apparently as a central ornament, were two of the well-known strips of shell. 
About 6 inches from the feet of the skeleton was a bone tube 5.25 inches in length, 
apparently polished by use, as are the other four tubes from this place. Six 
inches distant from the skeleton was the shell of a turtle or of a tortoise, broken, 
a rattle, containing pebbles unusually large, some having the size of the end of 
one's little finger.
