LAW : OS RECENT PRE-HISTORIC " FINDS." 447 
after bone was picked out, examined, and laid on the table. 
Among these bones were fragments of various sizes, of cranium, 
portions of scapula, pelvic bones, femur, tibia and other bones 
of the legs. Besides these there were fragments of ribs and 
perfect toe bones. 
Presently a small cup was laid bare inside the urn, and 
a few pokes with the knife so far emptied it of its contents 
that an ancient relic could be seen which differed from any 
that had yet been found. A moment later a piece of metal 
was picked out of the cup resembling a spear head. It was 
about 2^ inches long and 1|- inches wide at one end, and tapered 
to a point at the other. It was thin and flat and sharp at the 
sides and point. It contained a rivet at the two extremities and 
another one about half way up one side. A bronze pin was also 
found about the same time as this piece of metal, and on careful 
examination the metal and the pin were made out to be a bronze 
brooch, the pin having probably been detached in extracting it 
from the bones in the cup. Besides this brooch about a dozen 
beads of a necklace were found, which w^ere chiefly of a rounded 
shape and about half an inch in diameter. Some of the beads 
seem to have been made of jet, and some of bone, and were 
more or less rudely carved. A bone pin was next brought to 
light. It was about two inches in length and the eighth of an 
inch in diameter at one end, tapering tow^ards a point at the 
other. It was cylindrical in form and slightly curved. The fact 
of all these ornaments having been carefully placed in the cup 
and buried with the urn points to the cup having been used 
as a utensil in w^hich to preserve what w^as considered of gi*eat 
value. Several human teeth were also found in this cup. 
The opening of the tw^o inferior urns proved that they 
contained nothing more than the sweepings up of the funeral 
pile which probably took place after the calcined bones had 
been placed in the more important urn. 
Since this discovery was made a beautifully-formed flint 
arrow head of the leaf-shaped pattern has been found in the
