maces, or heads of clubs (fig. 387 and plate 44, fig. I 1). It is from terrace B, between -1-28.25 feet and + 31 feet. The drilling, which is unfinished on each side, has left no trace of drill cores. Among the maces I also class hat-shaped stone implements like S.K. 67 (fig. 388), and S.K. 91 (fig. 389), both found with the gray pottery in the upper digging between +37 and +4o feet. They also are unfinished, the drilling only having been begun. The smaller of the two maces shows also on the upper side the beginning of a perforation, which is really the reason for referring these forms to the maces instead of to the knobs. But both approach in form the only half-preserved mace of black-gray stone (S. K. 132; fig. 390 and plate 44, fig. 13), which is distinguished from the others by a projecting shaft-collar at the bottom. For comparison, a similar, somewhat smaller, but perfectly preserved implement is worthy of remark (S.K. 156). It is made of pink clay with a whitish-yellow slip, and was found in terrace B between + 21 feet 5 inches and + 23 feet 7 inches. The significance of an implement made of marble (S.K. 137; fig. 391) remains uncertain. It is from the upper digging between + 29 and +32 feet, and is drilled only to the center. If it was finished, then it is to be classed with the knobs.
Slingstones.—So-called slingstones are very numerous in the middle strata, as they were in the North Kurgan. Those of the South Kurgan 897 (<0.5) are more varied in form and for the most
part excellently polished, even if not always regularly formed. There occur forms with elliptical longitudinal section, as in S.K. I I I (fig. 392 and plate 44, fig. 15), from the upper digging at +33 feet, and S.K. 195 (fig. 393 and plate 44, fig. I 4), from terrace C between + 21 and +23 feet; or double-conical as in S.K.
I15 (fig. 394 and plate 45, fig. I) from upper digging between +32 and +33 feet; or egg-shaped like S.K. 242 (fig. 395 and plate 45, fig. 2), from terrace C between + 19 and + 21 feet; or conical as in S.K. 85 (fig. 396 and plate 44, fig. 16) from the upper digging between + 37 and +40 feet.
Implements of bone.—Here, as in the North Kurgan, objects made of bone were very rarely found, and even when found their significance remained somewhat uncertain. Two implements, of which S.K. 208 (fig. 397 and plate 45, fig. 3) shows the form, look like arrow-points. They were found in terrrace B, between -f- 21 feet 5 inches and + 23 feet 7 inches. The implement S. K. 182 (fig. 398 and plate 45, fig. 4) may have been used for polishing. It is from the upper digging, between +25 and +29 feet.
Unclassified.—A hoe-shaped implement (S.K. 352) deserves especial mention. It is made from micaceous schist with a shaft dowel, which is broken off (fig. 399 and plate 45, fig. 13). It was found in terrace B, below the clay chest, and is made from a polished piece, the original form of which is rather roughly hewn and is
