	abstract = {<p>Seven trapezoidal stone pendants have been recovered from an exposed hearth at Pasquatinow, a traditional Aboriginal habitation location on the Saskatchewan River in east-central Saskatchewan. The suspension holes were produced with a metal bit, evidence that these pieces date to historic times. Such stone pendants are a unique occurrence in the archaeological record of central Saskatchewan, although a shell pendant has been recovered from a regional Selkirk site and metal pendants are present in fur trade posts dating to the late 1700s. Trapezoidal pendants of stone, bone, and shell have been recovered in late precontact and protocontact contexts on the Plains to the south of Pasquatinow. Historically, those made in Middle Missouri villages were of glass and functioned in the context of certain ritual observances. The Pasquatinow pendants may have played a part in a similar complex of spiritual beliefs.</p>},
