Fig. 20. × 1/2. Figs. 21 and 22. × 3/4. Sinker-like stones.
III. Stones with holes pierced through them by which they were suspended: These form the type that may with the most certainty be classed as sinkers. 1-8535, [plate 12], fig. 7, from stratum I, is the only specimen of this class found.
IV. Pear-shaped and kindred stones; also conical pendant stones: The fourth class is the largest, in that the greatest number of shapes may be included in it. The following are to be counted in with this class:
a. Pear-shaped stones and others, though slighter, still very like them. This type is represented by:
1. A perfect pear-shaped stone, 1-8611, [plate 10], fig. 2, from stratum II.
2. More or less fragmentary bits, 1-8612, 3, the first without a doubt, the second probably from stratum II. See 1-8613, [plate 10], fig. 1.
3. Five fragments of stones of a slenderer, less perfect though similar form, 1-8614, 5 and 6 ([plate 10], figs. 5, 3, 8), 1-8617 and 1-8718 ([plate 10], fig. 4), the latter one from stratum IV, the others from II.
b. Inverted pear-shaped stones, some flat. This shape is related, though distantly, to the above. Two fragments, 1-8618 and 1-8619, from stratum II, see 1-8618, [plate 10], fig. 6.
c. A conical stone with slanting lower surface (1-8719, [plate 10], fig. 7) from stratum IV. It is very similar in shape to the upper part of the pear-shaped stones.
d. A pointed stone, 1-8925, from stratum VIII, [plate 10], fig. 9, which is only very distantly related to the pear-shape forms.
