1. Perforated hammer-axes of staghorn, numbering between 300 and 400, in all stages of manufacture. The most typical forms of these implements are sketched on =Fig. 44=. 2. Polished daggers, pointers, chisels, etc., varying in length from 4 to 10 inches, amount to many hundreds. The smaller pointers, awls, and pins, were made of bone splinters and ground to fine points. The finer daggers were invariably made of the leg-bones of a deer or other animal. It appears that they were manufactured by sawing or cutting the bone lengthways and slightly diagonally, so as to have two weapons out of the one bone, leaving each with a joint for its hilt. One or two bones were found showing this operation in an uncompleted stage. Some of these daggers had perforations near the extremity of the handle-end for suspension. [Illustration: =Fig. 43.=--LAIBACH. All ⅓ real size.] [Illustration: =Fig. 44.=--LAIBACH. All about ¼ real size.] 3. The tynes of deer-horns were converted into coarse needles (=Fig. 42=, No. 13), and used probably in the manufacture of nets. Over a score of these implements have been collected. 4. A few finely-polished objects like hooks are supposed to have been used as dress-fasteners or buckles (Nos. 6 and 16). 5. Another set of curious objects (No. 7), of which about a score have been collected, is supposed by Dr. Deschmann to have been used as artificial bait to catch large fish, just as we at the present day use an imitation minnow. They are made of the tynes of deer-horns, and vary in length from 2 to 5 inches. 6. About a dozen or so of very sharp and finely-polished needles made from the superficial lamina of a rib. The eye, which is at one end, is either round or elongated (No. 15.) 7. Several hollow bones (some of the wild swan), open at both ends, and varying in length from 5 to 10 inches, have marks inside, as if made by the friction of running threads. They are supposed to have been used in the preparation of thread, and hence go under the name of "Zwirndreher." 8. Some flat portions of the horns of the elk and the underjaws of oxen, minus their teeth, were used as polishers. _Metal Objects._--(=Fig. 45.=) The total number of metal objects now in the Museum at Laibach, and tabulated as coming from the lake-dwellings, is 24. They are all either of bronze or copper, as hitherto not a trace of iron has anywhere been met with. The following is a list of them:-- 1. Two flat-handled bronze swords 21 and 14½ inches long (Nos. 3 and 4). 2. Three bronze daggers, 11½, 8, and 7½, inches long (Nos. 2, 1, and 7). The larger has four rivets for fastening a handle; the next has six rivets, and the blade is beautifully ornamented; and the third has two rivet-holes, arranged differently from those in the other two. 3. A winged bronze celt (No. 5); and one of the flat type (No. 9), said to be of copper. 4. Portions of three bronze pins (Nos. 12 and 13). 5. Two thin bracelets of bronze, much worn.
