Bronze Objects 



No. 72. Bronze hatchet. — Found in the tomb of an

 ably of the time of the ist Inca, or may have followed the 

 stone implement age. 



No. 73. Part of a bronze hatchet. — Found in the ruins 

 of the Indian village Guatangasta or La Troya. 



No. 74. Bronze hatchet. — From Guatangasta or La 

 Troya. The blue oxidation has been cleaned off by the 

 discoverer. Same age as No. 73. 



Nos. 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 79« and 79^. Bronze cutting 

 instruments.— Found at La Troya. Employed by the 

 Indians for carvings, &c. Same age as No. 72. Others 

 of a similar nature exist with better cutting edges, but 

 these are now in the possession of the writer. It would 

 be interesting to make an analysis of all the bronze 

 instruments so as to determine their constituents.

 La Troya. Of the same age as the other bronze objects.
