Stone Objects. 



5. Stone scraper, made of mottled limestone. See pi. VII, Fig. 14. 

 A piece has been broken off. A thick ridge extends along its back. This 

 ridge would aid the hand in holding and using the scraper. Its edge is 

 curved or somewhat semicircular. The length is seven inches. 



6. Banner-stone or gorget slightly broken (pi. VII, Fig. 15). This is 

 a flat, rectangular piece of reddish coloured haematitic slate, with a single 

 central aperture showing the marks of the flint borer which was used in 

 making the perforation. This banner stone is five inches long. 



7. Stone adze, made of hornblende rock. Length 8 inches, (pi. VII, 

 Fig. 16). 



8. Stone gouges, made of hornblende. Most of these are well made 

 and highly polished. 



9. Stone celts or axes, also of hornblende. These are usually well 

 finished tools. PI. VII, Fig. 17. 



i*^). Slate spears and arrow heads, barbed and having a tang serrated 

 on the sides. 



11. Flint and chert scrapers and arrow heads. 



12. Bird amulet of limestone, somewhat broken. This is very large, 

 being nineteen inches long and six inches high. There are two holes 

 bored from side to side through its neck and back. 



Objects of Pottery. 



13. Sherds of pottery (pi. VI, Fig. 12). These pieces of broken 

 pottery show decoration by textile impression as well as by incision with 

 sharp flint or shell tools. 



14. Large pipe of pottery with incised decoration upon its bowl 

 (pi. VI, Fig. 11). Height of bowl, two inches. Length of stem, two 

 inches. 



Shew. Object. 



15. Cowry shell, Cyprcea moneta (pi. IV, Fig. 6). This shell is not 

 perforated, and, therefore, it is not likely that it was used as an ornament. 

 It probably served the purpose of money. The home of this cowry is in 

 the Pacific Ocean near California.
