HARVARD AFRICAN STUDIES
i. From here, running across to south wall and along south wall to end (continued).
Body PB.
140-141. Beads and scarabs; disturbed by pressure; certainly a beaded garment,
probably of leather; some large pieces of organic matter (apparently
leather not cloth, but may have been human skin) had embedded in the
surface a number of small blue ring-beads arranged in a lozenge pattern
with five to six beads on each of the four sides of the lozenge; these
would appear to be from a garment. In addition a number of beads,
some of which were also embedded in the indeterminate organic matter:
36 ring-beads of gold plated copper (?); diam., 3 mm.; L, 2 mm.
12 tubular beads of copper (?); diam., 5 mm.; 1., 7 mm.
69 tiny ring-beads, base gold; diam., 1 mm.; 1., 1 mm.
48 ring-beads, copper (?); diam., 2 mm.; 1., 1 mm.; and many more
of these still embedded in organic matter (left for further examina-
tion).
1 ring-bead of black and white speckled stone; diam., 6 mm.
2 ornaments of silver wire, looped roughly in the form of the sa-sign;
Photo. A 2116; 14-3-299.
There was also a fragment of woven giraffe-hair, like the handle-covers of
that material.
All the above bear the number 14-3-298, except the silver wire.
Mixed with the above were the following five seals, all of blue-glazed
steatite:
11-90, in silver ring-mounting, scarab; 14-3-300.
11-51, porcupine; 14-3-301.
11-50, porcupine; 14-3-302.
II-46, pair of animals, lying down back to back, heads together; 14-3-303.
11-49,frog; 14-3-304.
143a. Two haematite palettes; one, 7x5 cm. with red stain; the other, 9 X
5 cm., red and black stains; 14-3-306.
143b. Lump of black graphite; 14-3-307.
144. Four bone awls, and one threader; 14-3-308.
145. Beads from ankle; 14-3-309:
16 ring-beads, red jasper; diam., 2-3 mm.
x ring-beads of silver; decayed; strung with the stone beads in alterna-
tion; thread preserved.
146. Pair of rawhide sandals; 14-3-310.
Body QB. Child close at back of PB and probably related to that woman; also on right side,
head west; left arm down; right, stretched out towards PB; 135, 137, be-
tween QB and PB; 142, above body; 147, on neck; 148, 149, on upper arms;
150, dagger, between legs; 151, bracelets on left wrist; 152, throwstick, beside
dagger; 153, beaded garment, on and under body. (Pl. 21, 2.)
135. One barrel-bead, blue faience; 14-3-293.
137. Plaited leather thong, see 142, below; 14-3-295.
142. Leather thong, plaited band; 14-3-305.
147. Necklace; 14-3-311:
(a) Strand of 58 thick disc-beads (ring-beads?) of white and black speckled
stone; diam., 5 mm.; thickness, 2 mm.
