made of bone, which may have been used in the manufacture of 

 pottery [figs. 35, 36] ; a cutting instrument made from an incisor 

 tooth of a beaver ; and a small chisel-like tool. 



The bronze implements include knife-daggers [fig. 37] ; knives ; 

 axes [fig. 38]; drills [fig. 39]; and awls or prickers [fig. 40].

In the barrows of the wolds, though implements of any kind 

 have been but rarely found in connection with an interment, those 

 of stone are much more abundant than those of bronze. The con- 

 verse of this appears to be the case in Wiltshire, where Sir R. Colt 

 Hoare met with bronze implements in the proportion of two of 

 that metal to one of stone ; and though it is possible that he 

 may have overlooked some of the smaller flint articles, still it is 

 evident that in Wiltshire stone was less frequently deposited with 

 the dead than was bronze.
