Abstract
Rotation tight curves of three Amor-type and one Aten-type near-Earth asteroids are presented. We find periods between 0.112 and 0.756 days. In this respect all objects appear to be normal small near-Earth aste roids. The complicated shapes of their light curves are briefly discus sed regarding their possible different origins as pure asteroidal bodi es or extinct cometary nuclei.
