MISCELLANEOUS OBJECTS, CULTURES I AND II, NORTH KURGAN. 165 
workshops in all layers of the hill, and by two nuclei. One of these (N.K. 9; 
fig. 358; plate 43, fig. 1) is from the dump of Komorof’s trench; the other (N.K. 
31; fig. 359; plate 43, fig. 2) is from the middle strata. 
Perforated stone implements.—Only one form of perforated stone implements 
was recognized—a ring-shaped stone club-head. A fragment of one of these, 
made of light-gray stone, polished, and with polished perforation (N.K. 235; 
fig. 360; plate 43, fig. 3) comes from the lowest culture- 6 
strata in the shaft of the east gallery. A well-preserved 
specimen, made of a pink stone with blue spots, is shown 
in N.K. 94 (fig. 361; plate 43, fig. 4). It was found in 
terrace v between +28 feet 5 inches and +32 feet, in the 
layer of the bake-ovens. 
Miscellaneous.—A four-edged implement made of 
slate (N.K. 44; fig. 362; plate 42, fig. 15) was probably 
a chisel or polishing stone. It was found in the north 
digging between —8 and —11 feet.* Of isolated occur- 
rence were so-called sling implements of stone and clay. One of skittle-shape, 
made of stone, with a much corroded surface (N.K. 240) is shown in fig. 363, 
plate 43, fig. 7.— It was found in the north digging rv, April 20, 1904. Another 
from +30 feet, terrace 1, in the form of an egg, made of fine gray clay (N.K. 25), 
is reproduced in fig. 364 and plate 43, fig. 6. An irregularly worked disk of slate

(N.K. 181) with central perforation, from terrace 1, between +23 and +25 feet 
and of undetermined use, is shown in fig. 365 and plate 43, fig. 5. 
Implements of bone are also to be noticed from the North Kurgan. Frag- 
ments of two polished implements (N.K. 18), probably made from the ribs of an 

*The finds at this point above — 12 feet, in north digging ur, are of doubtful age, being near the 
contact between culture-strata in situ and “wash” from above.—R. P. 
+ North digging 1v was wholly in irrigation sediments. This object is, therefore, younger than either 
of the kurgans.—R. P.
