color and well polished (S.K. 32; fig. 328; plate 42, fig. 2), came from the upper
digging, between +45 feet 11 inches and +47 feet. It has a peculiar perforation,
which tapers toward the interior.
*Miscellaneous.*—Ornamental disks with central perforation served the same
purpose as the beads. S.K. 15, fig. 329 (plate 41, fig. 23), shows half of one of
lenticular shape, consisting of milk-white, finely polished material (shell?). It is
from the upper digging, between +47 and +50 feet. The fragments of another
lenticular disk of polished marble (S.K. 45; fig. 330; plate 41, fig. 24) were found
in the upper digging, somewhat deeper, between +43 and +45 feet.
UNCERTAIN WHETHER FROM OLDER OR YOUNGER CULTURE, SOUTH KURGAN.
In addition to the ornamental objects just enumerated there is a series of
beads and similar ornaments, but the conditions of their occurrence do not permit
us to say to which of the two culture epochs of
the South Kurgan they belong.
First of all, delicate turquoise beads, in the
same class with the one mentioned above, are
shown in fig. 326. One of these, barrel-shaped
in longitudinal section, lenticular in cross-section
(S.K. 69; fig. 331; plate 41, fig. 20), is from ter-
race A, between +25 and
+27 feet; *i. e.*, from the
layers with "mixed"
pottery. Another, cylin-
drical in longitudinal sec-
tion, elliptical in cross-
section (S.K. 89; fig. 332;
plate 41, fig. 18) is also
from terrace A, between
+23 feet 4 inches and +25 feet. Now, a turquoise bead
of the same form as that last mentioned was found April
22, in terrace C, between +19 feet 5 inches and +21 feet
2 inches (S. K. 245); but the terrace was dug
outward on that day and it is not impossible
that the bead may have fallen in from the mixed
layers containing younger pottery on the outer
edge. One would assign a turquoise bead of
this form to the younger rather than to the
older culture of the South Kurgan.
The "mixed" layers of terrace A, between +23 feet 4 inches and +25 feet,
furnished also a three-sided slide made of greenish-white glass of faience-like
material, with two perforations and two notches on the edge (S.K. 86; fig. 333;
plate 41, fig. 7). A very striking bead is shown in S.K. 246 (fig. 334; plate 41,
fig. 9). It is large and barrel-shaped, made of milk-white agate, striped with
