Excerpt from Hawikuh Bonework The commoner implements and as beads, only a few moments being required to modify most of them into the desired im plements and ornaments. For an awl, a bird or a mammal bone usually necessitated only pointing by rubbing one end on sand stone, when the tool was ready for use; for beads, a hollow bone was cut the desired length and the ends rubbed srnooth: hence the process employed in fashioning the commonplace tools and ornaments was as simple as the objects themselves.
