On tablet 12 are pieces of bone showing marks of cutting and 
sawing. 
Flint arrow-heads are shown on tablet 13 ; a flint scraper on 
tablet 14. 
On tablet 15 are some perforated clay balls which have 
probably served as fly-wheels in spinning. 
On tablets 16, 17, and 18 are some pellets of baked clay. A 
similar object, in both form and material, was found in one of 
the subterranean chambers at La Tourelle, near Quimper, in 
Brittany, recently examined and described by M. R. F. Le Men. 
These pellets were doubtless used for slinging ; in form they 
closely resemble the leaden ''glandes" (acorns) of the ancients.

The objects upon tablets Nos. 15 and 16 are made of plastic 
clay, probably obtained from Clarendon, about three miles 
distant from the pits. Some of this mottled clay in its un- 
worked state was found in the pits ; and large dome-shaped 
covers perforated with holes, which had apparently been used 
for ventilation, were also found in them, made from this material. 
Upon tablets 20, 21, and 23 are pieces of worked bone. 
Upon tablet 22, pieces of worked stag's-horn (red deer). 
Upon tablet 24 is a bone showing marks of gnawing r, and 
two bones a and h fractured as if for the extraction of marrow.

All the objects in this Case are from the Highfield pit-dwell- 
ings, except No. i, which is a rude vessel of hand-made pottery 
found at Petersfinger, near Salisbury. The neighbourhood of 
Petersfinger abounds with flint flakes, rude tools of flint, and 
other vestiges of the Stone period. Many specimens from this 
locality are to be seen in the collection. 
Nos. 5, 12, 13, and 14, as well as the entire contents of Case 
D 12, are specimens of pottery from the Highfield pits, and the 
trenches there, which latter probably may be referred to a rather 
later date than the pits. The whole of the pottery from the pits 
is hand-made ; it has not been turned on the wheel. Attention 
is directed to the ornament upon No. 5, Case D 11, and to that 
upon the specimens shown on tablets Nos. 18 to 23, D 12 ; also 
to the red chevron-like ornament upon the specimen mounted 
on tablet 17 rt-, D 12. 
In Case D 11, Nos. 6, 7, and 8 are oblong lumps of chalk 
drilled at one end ; these have probably served as loom- 
weights for giving tension to the warp-threads in weaving.
