Extract

Canine tooth: 1 (L 3.75). Large canine tooth with grooving at tip of the root for attachment to a string or thong. From the Late phase (Fig. 17,1).

Constricted neck pendant: 1 (L 3.1; breadth of base 1.5; breadth of neck 0.9; breadth of head 1.3). A finely ground and polished pendant of generalized rectanguloid shape. The grinding has produced a constriction near one end, isolating that end as a head for attachment. Encircling the head end are two grooves. The bottom end has one encircling groove. A perforation runs laterally through the pendant at the constriction. Elliptical cross section. From the Developmental phase (Fig. 17,2).
