Seite 150 - The body is separated into four lobes by four vertical, depressed, polished bands about one inch wide. Two of these lobes are crossed obliquely by similar polished bands. These bands were all finished with a polishing implement, and are somewhat depressed, probably the result of strong pressure, with this tool. They are bordered by wide incised lines.

Seite 351 - Oryzopsis membranacea, the common sand grass of the desert, produces an abundance of seed and is generally used. In gathering it the squaw carries in one hand a small basket and in the other a paddle made of wicker-work, resembling a tennis racket, but of only about two-thirds the size. With this she beats the grass panicles over the basket.
