1062-1182 SFBUC 1507-8/1516-17. H214-5/218/222 G503. Grave deposits. Period
2. With 1060-1, Fig 36, a group of 123. Lengths vary from 1.0 to
17.0 mm, average diameter 2.5 mm. Jet, with deep transverse grooves
approximately 1.0 mm apart. The depth of the grooving has caused the
cylinders to break into short lengths, usually of one or two divisions
(cf Hagen 1937. 122. type D14). It is impossible to assess the original
number of beads.
