1439. (42326). Large grooved maul of irregular shape and surface; finegrained sandstone.
1440-1447. 1440, (42327); 1441, (42328); 1442, (42329); 1443, (42330); 1444, (42331); 1445, (42332); 1446, (42333); 1447, (42334), are all quite similar to the two preceding mauls, and are all of sandstone.

1448. (42335). A very large grooved maul, almost square, and weighing about fifteen pounds.
1449. (42336). Grooved maul of very coarse-grained sandstone; short and thick.
1450. ([42337]). Fig. [506]. Grooved maul of compact sandstone. The body of the maul is almost round, though the cut makes it appear flat. Several such specimens were collected, and in all instances they show that they have been better preserved than the axes. This is probably due to the fact that their shape adapts them to grinding foods and grain, and hence they are not used for splitting or cutting.
1451. (42339). Rough stone maul of sandstone, grooved in the middle.
1452. (42350). Small grooved axe of sandstone from the ruins of Pecos.
1453. (42246). Celt of a very black slate stone.
1454. (42247). Celt. This is a very fine specimen, of yellow polished slate of about the same texture as the preceding one. It is about twelve inches long, and tapers gradually from the broad edge to the top.
