Slingstones.—So-called slingstones are very
numerous in the middle strata, as they were in
the North Kurgan. Those of the South Kurgan
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. 111 (fig. 392 and plate 44, fig.
15), from the upper digging at +33 feet,
and S.K. 195 (fig. 393 and plate 44, fig.
14), from terrace C between +21 and
+23 feet; or double-conical as in S.K.
115 (fig. 394 and plate 45, fig. 1) 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 +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
