made with a point or style. A whorl (N.K. 60), concave on the top, from the
lower strata, is decorated on the edge with little lines (fig. 347; plate 42, fig. 13);
so also are the whorls from the middle strata (N.K. 192; fig. 348; plate 42, fig. 9;
and N.K. 225; fig. 349; plate 42, fig. 12).
Combinations of pricked points and line patterns are
found on two whorls from the middle strata (N.K. 122; fig.
350; plate 42, figs. 5 and 14; and N.K. 191; fig. 351; plate 42,
fig. 10).
In isolated cases it was possible to determine with cer-
tainty a white incrustation of the incised ornamentation on
whorls. But in no case was importance attached to a sys-
tematic grouping of the patterns. Interest in design or in
the varying of the patterns does not yet make itself felt. The
only essential differences are in technique. The clay whorls
found in the upper strata add little
to our knowledge. Besides, they
come from mixed layers and may
also belong to the remains of the
older culture.
Flint implements.—Worked flint
implements occur in all layers of
the North Kurgan and are especially
abundant in the middle and lower
strata. For the most part they are flakes of flint which were worked and used
as knives or long scrapers. A small flint implement (fig. 352) was found as a
burial gift among the bronze and lead ornaments grouped under N.K. 185, with
a skeleton in terrace II at +22 feet 5 inches. A beautifully worked long scraper
(N.K. 249; fig. 353; plate 42, fig. 20)
comes from the lowest culture-strata.
To the middle strata belongs a one-
edged knife (N.K. 162; fig. 354; plate
42, fig. 19), from terrace VII between
+23 and +24 feet. Two-edged knives
with well-worked ends and traces of
use on both edges are shown in N.K.
16 (fig. 355; plate 42, fig. 18), from the
east pit in Komorof's trench, and N.K.
101 (fig. 356; plate 42, fig. 16), from
terrace V between +28 and +32 feet.
In the last one both ends are well
worked. N.K. 7, on the other hand, is a two-edged knife with traces of use on
one side (fig. 357; plate 42, fig. 17). It is from the west pit of Komorof's trench.
That these flint implements were not imported, but were made by hand on
the spot, is shown by the abundant flakes of flint which occur as refuse of the
