Primary Cord Notes:
Formed in loop, starts with opened end (unraveled ply) for knotting circular loop together. At 26.0 cm, end passes through looped end to form knotted loop 2.0cm left dangling with knotted end.

Red (RO) pigment on YB is coming off but seems to have been present throughout these cords, so on cord colors have been recorded as RO. The primacy cord also has some red pigment in the YB portions, suggesting it also could have been fully R0-dyed in the past.
