Remains in bucks county, pa. 875 



No. 4 is on the farm of Mr. Overpeck, near Monroe. This locality 

 is peculiar in its relics, which consist of triangular arrow-points and 

 fragments of finely ornamented pottery. Besides these, no other relics 

 were discovered, except several pieces of clay pipe-stems, an amulet, 

 several celts, and fragments of pestles. Since the writer has collected 

 at this place, he has found but one arrow-point with a stem, while of 

 triangular arrow- points more than 100 specimens have been gathered, 

 most of them broken. A large number of fragments of pottery were 

 found scattered over the surface. They were in a good state of preser- 

 vation, and many of them are finely ornamented, especially those pieces 

 which formed the rim of the vessels, some of which are perforated. 

 Chips of jasper occur in the soil, but very few broken cobble-stones. It 

 is difficult to explain why all the arrow-points are triangles, and why 

 the pottery is of better workmanship than that of any other locality in 

 the township. 



No. 5 is the site of a small village on the farm of Mr. Tranger, of 

 Monroe. It is situated about 100 yards north of No. 4, but is quite differ- 

 ent from it in the character of its relics. Here chips of flint and broken 

 cobble-stones are found again. The relics are principally spear and 

 arrow points, knives, scrapers, plummets, &c. 



No. 6 is a locality on the farm of Mr. Overpeck, where we find spear 

 and arrow points, some rude pottery, hammers, and occasionally a few 

 other implements. 



No. 7 is on the edge of the bluff, on the farm of Mr. Aaron Tranger. 

 -In the character of its relics it is similar to No. 6. Some of the arrow 

 points are made of a material not found in the locality. This place was 

 probably occupied by parties guarding the villages in the valley against 

 invasion. The position commands a good view of the Delaware Valley 

 toward the north. 



No. 8 is a locality on the farm of Cooper and Hewitt, one-half 

 mile south of Eiegelsville, where have been found arrow-points and a 

 few other relics. The refuse scattered over the surface indicates that 

 it was the site of a small village. 



No. 9 is on the farm of Mr. Riegel,near the mouth of the Musconet- 

 cong Creek, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Spear and arrow points 

 are found here. 



No. 10 is on the farm of George Shick, between two springs, where 

 have been found spear and arrow points, hammers, knives, scrapers, 

 plummets, a fine drill, &c. 



No. 11 is also around a spring, on the farm of Jacob Richards. The 

 relics are the same kind as those found at No. 10. 



No. 12 is an ancient jasper mine on the farm of Cooper and Hewitt. 

 The excavation made in mining the jasper is still to be seen. Around 

 it is a ridge of earth and stones, thrown out by the miners. The ground 

 is overgrown with brush and small oak, and is not cultivated for a short 

 distance around -the mine. The excavation is partly filled with stone
