ARTIFACTS FROM 45KT26

45KT26 is a cemetery on a sandy point overlooking Quilomene Rapids, at the southern end of Quilomene Bar (see KT28 report, Figure 3). It was extensively looted in the first half of the 20th Century. When David Rice and I (CMN) visited it briefly in 1960, there were few surface signs among the windblown sands. However, in one place we did find a handful of dentalium beads, which are shown below. Most were incised with designs similar to those on the pins from Cultural Component VIIC at 45KT28 (see KT28 report, Figure 83). We also found a rim fragment from a highly corroded small copper bowl.
