as for what yakker says:...........why do the ones have a missing hole right in the center.....looks like they were all 'taken' or 'killed' with something that hit them in the center??..........
.............but i don't know......

Perhaps the term applies, perhaps it doesn't, but this is what I found concerning the term 'killed' Yak [h=3]killed artifact.[/h] an artifact which has been purposely broken so as to release its spirit. Killed artifacts may be found as grave goods and the implication is that this was accomplished so that the spirit of the artifacts could accompany the spirit of the deceased to the afterlife.
