In a few instances, the cotton cloth was dyed red or indigo.

Near the head of each body stood a small earthenware jar of simple design; in some cases we also found drinking gourds placed at the head, though in one instance the latter had been put on the breast of the dead.

Buried with the person we found a bundle of "devil's claws" (_Martynia_).

These are used by the Mexicans of to-day for mending pottery.

They drill holes through the fragments to be joined and pass into them one of these claws, just as we would a rivet.
