A rinir cut from abalone shell (10957, fig. 48, e) is h/ig" outside diameter, Vig''ii^side diameter. Via" thick.

It is '^Yiq'^ long and has rounded ends and edges. 49" to 54" deep contained no bone artifacts. 54" to 60" deep contained an awl (11019) made from a splinter of bone. With this level also should be included the dagger-like bone implement (11023, pi. 5, d), v.'hich accompanied the infant burial. The object, 9^4" long, seems to be made from the bone of a very large bird. One end has the joint cut off so as to be square; the other tapers to a long, very sharp point; the whole is highly polished. Trench B, 21" to 23" deep, contained 3 beads (11039-1, -2, -3) made by cutting the ends of bird bones square, leaving them as hol- low tubes. Two of these are 2%", the third 2%'' long.
