fig. 376 and plate 44, fig. 2; S.K. 209, fig. 377 and plate 44, fig. 3; S.K. 266, fig. 378
and plate 44, fig. 4) there are forms which are clearly to be traced backward
to naturalistic prototypes, as on the side of S.K. 148 (fig. 379; plate 44, fig. 7).
Here there are alternate snake-like forms and a figure which one is inclined to look
upon as human. The cross pattern, on the other hand, on S.K. 272 (fig. 380)
appears to be a stiff, decorative human figure. Both motifs find the strongest
decorative parallels
in the ornamentation
on the whorls of Troy.
Implements of
flint and obsidian.—
In the South Kurgan
also, flint implements
were often found in
the middle strata.
Simple flint knives were numerous, as in
S.K. 162 (fig. 381 and plate 44, fig. 10),
from terrace B, between +21 feet 5 inches
and +23 feet 7 inches; scrapers are more
rare. S.K. 80 (fig. 382 and plate 44, fig. 6)
was found in the dump of the upper dig-
ging. One-edged saws were also found, like
S.K. 79, fig. 383 and plate 44, fig. 12, from
the same layer. The most excellent work-
manship in the working of stone imple-
ments is shown in the fine arrow-point (S.K. 120) which also attracts our atten-
tion by its form showing small barbs and tongue. It is shown in fig. 384, and
plate 44, fig. 9, and was found in terrace B between +23 feet 7 inches and +25
feet. Of another form but of equally perfect workmanship is the arrow-point
(S.K. 365; fig. 385 and plate 44, fig. 8) taken from the fresh dump of shaft C
of the upper digging on
April 30, and derived
from near the middle
height of culture III;
probably from between
0 and −14 feet. A
smaller, more compact
and broader arrow-point
of obsidian (S.K. 351)
was found under skeleton γ in terrace B at +25 feet. It is shown in fig. 386,
and plate 44, fig. 5. It was the only obsidian implement that it was our good
fortune to find and in workmanship is equal to the last-mentioned flint implements.
Perforated stone implements.—An unfinished implement in the form of a
flattened ball of gray stone (S.K. 70) is probably to be classed with the annular
