Complete flute. There is residue from an unknown material on the surface. There are four perorations, one on the side of the proximal end and three along the top. There is a large crack running from the distal end to the middle.

Complete flute. There are four perforations, one at the proximal end, and three along the top. There is a large crack filled with adhesive along the bottom of the flute.

Complete flute. Both ends are smoothed. There are four perforations, three along the middle and one near the proximal end. The majority of the darkened striations are in a cross-hatched pattern, however there are three striations that wrap around the koauau between the first and second perforations. There is a crack that runs almost the length of the flute, but is only split from the distal end to halfway.

Complete bone flute. There is a visible repair where previously broken. There are three perforations along the top, and one perforation at the end. There are three drill marks along the side.

Complete flute, with a single perforation at one end. There are a few surface cracks running longitudinally.

Broken flute, proximal end remaining. There is a perforation at the end, and two down the middle. There are darkened striations starting near the fingerholes and fanning outward towards the lower edge. There are multiple longitudinal cracks. There is a white substance in the outer areas of the bore, possibly an old repair attempt.

Complete flute, small. There are seven perforations, six along the top, and one at the end. Striations in a chevron pattern on one side, and short diagonal striations on the opposite side.

Mostly complete flute, the distal end is missing a fragment. There is a visible repair at this end where a fragment has been reattached. There is a perforation at the proximal end, and three perforations along the top. There are darkened striations in a cross-hatching pattern at the distal end. There are several longitudinal surface cracks.

Complete flute. There are three perforations along the top, and one broken perforation at the end. There are multiple longitudinal cracks.

Broken flute, proximal end remaining. The remaining end is partially finished, but also chipped. There are three perforations. There are a few diagonal striations, that are darkened.

Complete bone toggle. There are no perforations. There are blackened incised lines near to and parallel with the chipped end.

Broken flute, fragment remaining. There is a visible repair down the fragment, where previously broken. The entirety of the surface is decorated with striations, portions of which are darkened.

Complete toggle. There is one large perforation at the pointed side of the toggle. On this side there are three darkened striations in a zigzag pattern. On the opposite side, the surface is covered in darkened striations in a "woven" pattern.

Complete bone toggle, longitudinal half length of bone. Finished with small notches at both ends. There are four perforation, one at each corner of the toggle.

Complete toggle, manufactured from a bone flute. There is one large oval perforation of the side of the toggle, and a partial perforation at both the proximal and distal end. The edges of the bole hole are serrated. The surface is decorated with lines that wrap around the toggle, creating a crosshatched pattern.

Broken flute, longitudinal fragment remaining. There is a partial perforation remaining at one end. At the opposite end to these perforations, there are darkened striations in a chevron pattern. Along the broken edges there is residue from an adhesive.

Fragment of flute. There are no perforations. The surface of the fragment is covered by darkened striations in a cross-hatched pattern.

Broken toggle, one end remaining. There is a single perforation. There is a large crack on the underside of the toggle. The surface is decorated with striations in an arrow pattern, with points on each side facing the perforation. The remaining end has short horizontal striations around the opening.

Toggle or flute in process of manufacture. Length of bone cut and finished at both ends. There are no perforations.

Toggle or flute in process of manufacture. Length of bone cut and finished at both ends. There are no perforations.
