KlDDER-oi-ERNSEv] ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLOEATIONS IN" ARIZONA 121 rounded and showing traces of charring; some consist of a single stick, others are rather carelessly attached to hafts (pi. 50, h^ h). The hearths, of which only fragments are usually found, are also round sticks with rows of charred sockets in which the drills have been twirled; each socket has a little notch or trough for the engen- dered spark to fall through onto the tinder (pi. 50, a, (?, d, e). All the hearths are of soft wood save one (A-llOO, Euin 6), which is made of a sunflower stalk, and all but one (pi. 50, a) are round. In Ruin 3 a hearth and drill were found tied together as if for a traveling kit (pi. 50,./). Fire pokers were common. They are usually greasewood sticks 18 inches to 2 feet long, smoothed off at one end and charred at the other. The Navaho use exactly simi- lar implements for tending their fires. Cu/>s and dishes.—These are i-epresented by two fragments of a shallow, traylike, wooden dish from Ruin 1 (A-1162), and by a handsome cottonwood cup found in the kiva of Ruin 8 (fig. 46). It is 3i inches high, 2f inches in diameter at the top, 2 inches across the flat base. The interior excavation extends only a little more than halfway to the bottom. About the middle of the outside is an inch-wide band of zigzag decoration, apparently burned in, but now faint and indefinite. This cup, though somewhat broken and rather badly rotted, is still well smoothed, almost polished. An inch below the rim on one side is a hole drilled through to the interior. A similar cup in the American Museum, New York, has a hole of the same nature in the same position; it is from Grand Gulch. Spindle ichorls.—These are all flat and vary from If inches to 2| inches in diameter. Besides the wooden examples shown in plate 51, c, 6?, there are also illustrated whorls made of squash rind (/), mountain-sheep horn (e), and pottery (a). Crooks.—Sticks of various lengths, having o
