CACHES. 



Ill cacbing or secreting his imiileinents, prehistoric man followed no 

 uniform method of placement, but the deposits are shown to have been 

 intentional. The implements were laid in a circle or rectangle and were 

 placed flat, on edge, or sometimes on end. Leaf-shaped implements 

 have been frequently found en cache, and have been called by some 

 "cache implements," but arrowpoints and spearheads, grooved axes, 

 polished stone hatchets, large chipped flints, spades, and other imple- 

 ments have also been found en cache. It will be seen at once that the 

 term "cache implements" can not with propriety be applied to any 

 particular one. 



Reports of caches have been made by their discoverers, and these 



have been here brought together and published for the convenience of 



the student.

 in digging, his spade lirought up a number of arrowjioints. He described them to 

 be nicely piled up side by side edgewise, in two or three rows, 10 to 15 inches below 

 the surface.. There were perhaps 200 or 300 in all. They are of a blue jaspery Hint,
