ARROWPOINTS, SPEARHEADS, AND KNIVES. 963 



Waynesboro, iu Burke County, and from that neighborhood he obtained many 

 implements and made many important discoveries. He reports that there are out- 

 crops of jasper on Rocky Creek, at the crossing of the Waynesboro road. Other 

 quarries were found in the neighborliood; one of white flint at Erin, and one of yel- 

 low flint at OUltown, 10 or 12 miles west in Jeflerson County. There were work- 

 shops on what he calls the Davis plantation or the Old Evans place, at the crossing 

 of Little Buckhead Creek by the Waynesboro road; one of these was 2 miles up the 

 stream at Captain Ridgely's. Dr. Steiner exhausted this neighborhood iu his search. 

 He found on the Old Evans place, in the valley of the Little Buckhead, within an area 

 of 40 acres, no less than 1(5,000 prehistoric implements, most of Avhich were of the 

 same material as the neighboring ([uarries and had probably come from them, but 

 many of them were of difterent material and had come from diflereut and perhaps 

 distant quarries.' 



There is in the U. S. National Museum a collection of arrow and 

 spearheads called, after its finder, the McGlashan collection, from Geor 

 gia. It comprises about 20,000 specimens. They are of divers forms 

 and sizes, are all of cherty flint, and apparently from one quarry. 

 They are much weathered and their color ranges from yellow and rose 

 to white. Plate 38, figs. 20-23 are photographs of specimens from the 

 collection and show the appearance of the material. 



FLORIDA. 



Hernando County. — Arrowpoint factory on the banks of Trouble Creek, 2 miles 

 north of the mouth of the Anclote River, and 5 miles south of Kootie River. 



"About 5 miles sonth of the Kootie River, and some 2 miles north of the mouth 

 of Anclote River, is a small stream called Trouble Creek. A considerable body of 

 blue flint rock occurs here, cropping out along the shores of the creek, with scat- 

 tering nodules lying in all directions. This point was evidently used for a long 

 time by the aborigines as a factory for arrow and spear heads. Bushels of chips and 

 fragments strew the ground, and large quantities have been washed from the banks 

 of the creek and cover its bottom. A long search revealed nothing except a few 

 arrowpoints and spearheads spoiled in making, and a lot of broken pottery." -

 Mountain (Potsdam sandstone), in the old fields where the Montgomery ^Mining and 

 Manufacturing Company's works were situated; wagonloads of quartz fragments, 

 broken arrowpoints, and spearheads cover the ground; but on a much larger scale 

 appears to liave been the manufacture of these implements in townshij^ 19 north,
