Among the bone objects were an awl and numerous pointed antler-tips, but the most remarkable is a smooth and rounded fragment of a rib having the head and forepart of a horse incised upon it. It is shown in Fig. 413. In the Church Hole Cave 213 relics of human workmanship were found, principally flakes of flint, splinters, and quartzite stones. Two of the flakes, one of which is shown in Fig. 413, are worn away on one edge only, as if the other edge had been protected by a wooden handle as suggested in the sketch.

Among the bone objects was an oval plate notched at the sides and a bone needle, Fig. 413. It is of larger size than is usual in caves of this period.
