The stone speci- mens, all of which are shown in plate 31, are very crudely executed, with the exception of the first two figures on the left. The first figure is a long flat celt-shaped object of yellow slate with crude engraved designs. It is perforated, with a constricted neck. The second figure is a tapering, well polished, double-perforate, boatstone-shaped object which has been grooved around the central part, possibly for suspen- sion. The remainder of the perforated stones w^liich are considered pendants are rough, crude pieces showing but little attempt at orna- mentation or careful shaping. Other publications have referred to these objects as "net ; A modern spring-back knife wrapped in fabric (pi. 12, upper row, 8th fig.) was found lying on the sternum of skeleton Pra-19.
