THE 10TH SCAPULA - EVIDENCE BEARING UPON THE PROVENANCE OF PAINTED DEER SCAPULAE IN NORTHERN COAHUILA

A previously unreported painted deer scapula from Cueva Pilote, a dry rock shelter in the Sierra de la Encantada of northern Coahuila, helps to establish the provenience of a similar specimen that had been attr ibuted to the Amistad Reservoir district. The design similarities sugg est that the two specimens formed a matched pair, part of a larger set . The Pilote assemblage would then consist often scapulae: seven paint ed two unpainted, and one burned beyond definition.
