16o   TH$ ARCH$OLOGICAI, EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU.

2 inches, there was found a chocolate-colored bead and one light-yellow, both shaped as shown in fig. 318 and plate 42, fig. 3 (S.K. 194). At the same place, between +18 feet 5 inches and +19 feet 5 inches, there was found a light-gray bead (S.K. 299) with light-brown stripes. A dark-gray specimen (S.K. 152; fig. 319), of less regular workmanship and bored with a large hole, was found in terrace B, between +21 feet 5 inches and +23 feet 7 inches. A similar one was observed also in the upper digging, between +25 feet 5 inches and +29 feet 5 inches. These beads are also often ornamented with small single or concentric circles with a central point, which must have been made with a compass. Two

306 (X0.5)   307 (X0.5)   specimens made of greenish stone (S.K. 124;

fig. 32o and plate 42, fig. I) were found in 305 (X 0.5) terrace B, between +23 feet 7 inches and

+25 feet, and another at the same place but deeper, between + 21 feet 5 inches and +23 feet 7 inches (S.K. 253).

The clay beads are, like those of the North Kurgan, spherical or double-conical as in S.K. 15o (fig. 321), from the upper digging, between +25 feet 5 inches and +29 feet, and S.K. 151 (fig. 322), from terrace B, between + 21 feet 5 inches and +23 feet 7 inches.

Especially worthy of remark is a double-conical bead of blue-white faience (so-called Egyptian porcelain), with blue-white glaze

310 (xi)   (S.K. 154; fig. 323 and plate 42, fig. 8). It

was found in the upper digging in the layer of the pithoi between +25 feet 5 inches and

311 (X1)   +29 feet.

Miscellaneous.—A toggle-like object of quartz with a central groove (S.K. 82; fig. 324 and plate 41, fig. 22) was found in the

upper digging, between +37 and +4o feet. One can not say whether it was for

ornament or use.

A clay disk of light-gray material, almost wholly blackened, was probably an ornament. It has a notched edge and two eccentric transverse holes (S.K. 318; fig. 325 and plate 41, fig. 21) from terrace B, between +18 and +21 feet.

FROM UPPER STRATA OF SOUTH KURGAN, CULTURE IV.

Beads.—A small cylindrical turquoise bead (S.K. 28; fig. 326) was found in terrace A, between +27 and +31 feet, among the fragments of the younger pottery of the upper digging. To the younger culture of the kurgan also there belongs a barrel-shaped bead of bluish-white glass, with fine black points (S.K. 65; fig. 327; plate 41, fig. 14), from the upper digging, between +40 and +43 feet. A stone bead in the form of an egg with truncated point, of light-gray
