150 THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU. 
THE MINOR ANTIQUITIES OF METAL, BONE, CLAY, STONE, AND FAIJENCE. 
(a) COPPER. 
FROM MIDDLE AND LOWER STRATA OF NORTH KURGAN, CULTURE I. 
Ornaments and implements of copper, or fragments of such, were found in 
different levels of the middle and lower layers, warranting the embracing of these 
in one culture epoch. 
Copper ornaments.—The burials of terrace 11 at +22 feet 5 inches have yielded 
us, besides beads and flint implements, copper ornaments in the form of spiral 
237(X 0.5) 240 245 (<0 5) 246 (0.5) 247(0 75) 248 (X0.75)

and cylindrical tubes (N.K. 81 and 185; plate 36, fig. 1). Of 
these there are two spiral and two straight tubes, well preserved 
QO (fig. 237). The first have four and four and a half windings, 
respectively; the latter are made of thin sheet-metal in such 
aa manner that the edges overlap. Besides these, there are respec- 
tively five and three fragments which can not be joined. The 
241 0°0.75) 242 (0.75) same burial yielded also lead tubes and a flint knife (cf. below). 
Copper pins.—Pins were found with heads of various forms—pyramidal, as 
in fig. 238, from terrace vil, between +24 feet and +22 feet 8 inches (N.K. 167; 
plate 36, fig. 2), or hat-shaped with round cross-section, as in fig. 239, from terrace 
vill, between +22 feet 8 inches and +24 feet (N.K. 187; plate 36, fig. 4). Of 
doubtful connection with the older culture is a pin with a cap-shaped head (fig. 240), 
from the west pit of Komorof’s trench (N.K. 20; plate 36, fig. 3). 
Copper wmplements.—A simple punch with square cross-section (fig. 241; 
N.K. 98, plate 36, fig. 7) came from terrace 111, between +18 and +20 feet. 
The fragment N.K. 145 (fig. 242) belongs to a four-edged chisel from terrace 
vu, between +24 feet 2 inches and +26 feet. 
Indeterminable is the piece of a four-edged bar with rhombic cross-sections 
(N.K. 188; fig. 243), from terrace 11, between +20 feet and +20 feet 5 inches; and
