MISCELLANEOUS OBJECTS, CULTURES I AND II, NORTH KURGAN. 165
workshops in all layers of the hill, and by two nuclei. One of these (N.K. 9; fig. 358; plate 43, fig. i) is from the dump of Komorof's trench; the other (N.K. 31; fig. 359; plate 43, fig. 2) is from the middle strata.
Perforated stone implements.—Only one form of perforated stone implements was recognized—a ring-shaped stone club-head. A fragment of one of these, made of light-gray stone, polished, and with polished perforation (N.K. 235;
fig. 36o; plate 43, fig. 3) comes from the lowest culture- 367
strata in the shaft of the east gallery. A well-preserved specimen, made of a pink stone with blue spots, is shown in N.K. 94 (fig. 361; plate 43, fig. 4). It was found in terrace v between +28 feet 5 inches and +32 feet, in the layer of the bake-ovens.
Miscellaneous.—A four-edged implement made of
slate (N.K. 44; 362; plate 42, fig. 15) was probably ft- t,

a chisel or polishing stone. It was found in the north( ~~ -
digging between — 8 and — II feet.* Of isolated occur-

One of skittle-shape, made of stone, with a much corroded surface (N.K. 240) is shown in fig. 363, plate 43, fig. 7.t It was found in the north digging iv, April 2o, 1904. Another from + 30 feet, terrace 1, in the form of an egg, made of fine gray clay (N.K. 25) , is reproduced in fig. 364 and plate 43, fig. 6. An irregularly worked disk of slate

Implements of bone are also to be noticed from the North Kurgan. Fragments of two polished implements (N.K. 18), probably made from the ribs of an
