[107] Some perforated stones that will not come under any of these heads are here noted separately under the National Museum numbers:
131614. An elliptical piece of steatite, with notches at each end for suspension, “tallies” all around the edge, and four holes on the longer axis.—Bradley county, Tennessee.
62879. A steatite ornament, shape like a bird’s head.—Jefferson county, Tennessee.
131856. A short, wedge-shape ornament of barite, drilled at the larger end.—Loudon county, Tennessee; also a similar but much larger ornament of indurated red clay, possibly catlinite, from a mound in the same county, represented in [figure 149]. The edges of the holes are much worn by a cord.
90847. A small ellipsoidal steatite bead, with several deep incisions around the edge.—Kanawha valley, West Virginia.
116335. A small marble bead; form like the rim of a bottle mouth.—Bradley county, Tennessee.
113943. Three small pendants of cannel coal. One is in shape like the keystone of an arch, with hole at smaller end; the other two are apparently in imitation of a bear’s tusk.—Kanawha valley, West Virginia.
