Buttons are fairly com- mon with a single perforation in the middle, or sometimes with four near the center. Round marble-like masses of clay were found. Many, 1 or 2 cm. in diameter, may have been used in the hollow legs of ollas for rattles. The largest ones were about 4 cm. in diameter. Rubbers and stamps.—Small round pottery rubbers with a short projection at the back for a handle are common. In a few cases the bottoms of these pieces are incised, and they may have been used as stamps. Another type of object which has been called a rubber is seen in figure 3. They are smooth on the bottom with a handle.
