Notes:

1. Primary cord: pendant strings have been restrung on a strong twine (fishing twine?) probably at the time of their recovery from Play Miller #6.
2. Because of the restringing in note #1 and for the purposes of this database, primary cord length and lengths between any of the 6 pendant cords have been assigned arbitrarily.
