one of elaystone. Other beads were on the.upper part of the thorax. A bone 
awl and a netting needle of antler (Fig. 13, G) were at the left of the pelvis, but 
no sizer was found. With this burial was also an incisor of a beaver (Castor 
canadensis).

below that of the upper one, though the trunks were not in the same line, the 
head of the deeper burial being to one side.

(Fig. 12, B) and most of a sizer of gabbro (Plate XI, Г):
