pipe in such a way that smoke could be blown on sacred 
objects at the same time the priest smokes. 
“ Some tubular pipes are used by the Hopi as cloud 
blowers, smoke being blown through them as I have 
described in my account of the ‘Snake Ceremonial at 
Walpi’ (Journ. Amer. Eth. and Arch.. Vol. IV, p. 32), 
in others smoke is sucked into the mouth. Combine 
both and change form, and you have your pipe." 
We now return to the deposit. Somewhat farther 
along was a deposit of twenty-eight points and blades 
of flint, one gracefully curved for use as a knife, rang- 
ing in length between 4.1 and 8 inches. This deposit, 
which was 8 inches in height, included but two points 
or blades not directed the same way. One of these was 
reversed ; the other lay transversely across one end of 
the pile. A selection from these flints is shown in 
Fig. 18. 
Parallel with the deposit of flints and placed be- 
tween some of them were a number of bone pins (at 
least seven) very badly decayed and broken, and one 
flat implement of bone. 
Also with the flints were thirteen small chips of 
the same material, and Vessel No. 2, in fragments, as 
were all vessels from this place, lay against the wall 
nearby. 
Still farther along was another deposit of flints, 
also consisting of twenty-eight blades and lance-points, 
ranging in length between 3.9 inches and 8.9 inches. 
Three selected specimens from this deposit are shown 
in Fig. 19. With this deposit were part of a large blade, 
and two well-made arrowheads of flint, with triangular 
blades. The deposit lay in a pile with no uniformity 
as to direction of the points. With it also were: twenty- 
three chips, all of black flint, somewhat irregular in 
shape, none more than 1.1 inch in maximum diameter : 
a large number of badly-decayed, bone pins, crushed 
together; a sandstone hone for sharpening points by 
longitudinal application and having at one end a semi- 
circular notch, perhaps for the smoothing of shafts of 
arrows (Fig. 20); a number of bone implements decayed 
past preservation; a beautiful little chisel of shale, 4 
inches in length; red pigment; a small sandstone hone te eed ee 
and part of another.
