Combs were sometimes worn in the hair, a custom which still prevails among Indians of both sexes. A fine, double-toothed comb of ivory, decorated on both faces with a series of incised, concentric circles, was found close by the skull of a young girl (Pl. K, 1), and another comb V-shaped in design seems to have been made for combing long hair, although its exceptionally fine and closely set teeth would imply that it also had other uses.
