158   THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU.

different color and differently formed were found with the skeleton II in terrace II at between +20.5 and +22.5 feet (N. K. I 14 ; fig. 296; plate 4o, fig. 2) : One large one, elongated, with four rounded edges of unequal size, made out of a yellow-white material; 58 small ones of similar stone, approximately double-conical, with truncated points; and II made from blood-red stone, nearly ring-shaped, but unequally cut (cf. fig. 296) .

With another skeleton (No. 13), in the same locality, +22 feet 5 inches, there occurred, besides the three lead spirals, two small white stone beads of about the

293 (X 0.5)   294 (X 0.5)   same form and kind as those just mentioned (N.K.

143; fig. 297; plate 4o, fig. 3). The third skeleton,

No. 12, found there had for a burial gift 67 small white stone beads (N.K. 144; fig. 298; plate 40, fig. 8), most of them of the same form as those just described—cylindrical with beveled edges. The other

beads found are separate finds. One was barrel-shaped, of white stone (N.K. 14o; fig. 299; plate 4o, fig. II) from terrace II, between + 20 feet 5 inches and +22 feet 5 inches; another, a small whitish stone bead, cylindrical, with unequal sides; another, the half of a bead of polished marble in the form of an angular disk (N.K.

241; fig. 300) ; both of the latter

296 (X 0 5)   5 inches; and lastly, an angular

bead of dead-white stone (N.K. 243 ; fig. 301) from north digging iv.

The clay beads are either double-conical, like N.K. 152 (fig. 302), from terrace VII at + 23 feet, or spherical, like N.K. 219 (fig. 303), from north digging II, between — 20 feet 5 inches and — 24 feet 5 inches. Similar double-conical ones were found in the west digging between +13 feet 4 inches and + 18 feet (N.K. 24) ; also in the shaft of the west gallery between o and — 1 foot.

Miscellaneous.—There is little else to be noted in the way of ornament. A

clay knob, somewhat pear-shaped, with impressions in the upper edge (N.K. 57; fig. 304; plate 40, fig. 13), comes from the north digging II, between —12 and —13 feet. A more simple clay knob (N.K. 251) is shown in fig. 305 and plate 4o, fig. 12. An object made of gypsum (N.K. 43; fig. 306; plate 4o, fig. 4), also a knob, is from north digging 1, between — 10 feet and — I I feet 5 inches. An ornamental disk of gypsum with central hole (N.K. 112; fig. 307; plate 40, fig. 14), is of undetermined derivation.

FROM UPPER STRATA OF NORTH KURGAN, CULTURE II.

Beads.—The beads of the upper strata are all burial gifts of the skeletons found in the terraces. Those found in terrace Ia (cf. above, page 89) are N.K. I, fig. 308; plate 4o, fig. I) ; two carnelian beads, one light-colored and cylindrical, the other dark and ring-shaped; a bead of lapis lazuli, bluish-white
