Bone Object

A segment of bone, 2.6 cm. long, was found on the surface. The ends are

cut squarely across and there is a small (natural?) perforation. It is

probably a bead of bird bone (Fig. 12, C), is hard, very white, and the

surface is polished. No other artifacts of bone or shell were found, but

the test pits in dark soil exposed numerous animal bones as well as

mussel and snail shells. No identifications were secured.
