Nineteen objects resembling each other and of unknown use were 
also found. Eighteen of them (Plate VII, figures 6-8) are made of bone, 
and the other (figure 5) is made from a canine tooth. Of these, eleven 
are small and are all practically alike. The remaining eight are large 
specimens but vary in size, and two differ considerably from the others 
in shape. Four of the small and three of the large specimens are from 
heap A; six small and two large ones from heap D; one large one from 
heap K; two large ones from heap M; and one small specimen from the 
eastern part of heap N. 
Of the four small specimens found in heap A, only one is entire (figure 7). 
It is ty inches long, oval in cross-section, and tapers towards the ends, 
with one-half curved edgewise. The small ends are cut nearly square 
across, the straight end having a small, symmetrical knob and the curved 
end a knob projecting only on one side. The other three specimens 
from this heap are similar, except that one lacks the knobbed part of the 
straight end, another the other end, the third both ends, and that in all 
the curve is slightly greater. Of the six small specimens from heap D, 
three are like those above described, but lack both ends; another lacks 
the tip of the curved end, and the fifth, which is thin and rather flat, with 
rounded edges, lacks one end and has the other end, though slightly knobbed, 
enlarging so gradually and irregularly that it is impossible to determine 
whether it is knobbed all around or only on one side. Besides, it is nearly 
straight on one edge and convex on the other, so that neither end can be 
positively identified as a curved end or a straight end. The sixth specimen 
(figure 5) is 1| inches long, apparently made of a canine tooth, and is of 
the type described, except that the curved end is somewhat flattened on 
the edges rather than oval in cross-section and that it has a notch in each 
side instead of a knob on one side. The specimen illustrated in figure 6 
is of the type form, but has a rather slender and more curved end. 
In these small specimens the projection on the curved end is confined 
to one side, and to the same side in three out of the five cases where the 
end is not lacking — two from heap A and one from heap N— whereas one 
from heap D is indefinite and the other (figure 5) has a notch in each 
side. This seems to prove intention rather than accident. 
The eight large specimens are broken. One (figure 8) is nearly of 
the type form but over If inches long. Instead of one end being curved, 
one edge is slightly more convex than the other and curves off towards 
it. The tip is lacking, so that it cannot be told whether it was knobbed 
on one side, notched on both sides, or otherwise. The second specimen 
is similar, except that the end of the knob is broken off rather than cut 
square across; the other end has the tip broken off, but, unlike all the 
above-mentioned, it curves towards the more convex side of the object. 
The end edge of this neck is broken rather than cut. Of the two large 
specimens from heap D, one seems to be of the type form with both ends 
lacking ; it has a very curved neck and is nearly uniform in section through- 
out. The other is oval in section, and somewhat like the base end of a 
simple point with one edge cut to resemble the end of a crochet-hook, but 
without any undercut to the hook. Of the two large specimens from heap 
M the largest, though lacking both ends, is 2\ inches long. Its edges 
are nearly symmetrical, and the neck is elongated but curves very slightly
