Hand daggers(?). Four large crude points, which from 

 their shape could not have been hafted, were found scattered 

 between the caches. As far as workmanship goes they are the 

 poorest of the series. One face is formed by a single large 

 flake, while the other has been formed by three or four heavy 

 strokes. 1 Apparently these represent lost implements of no 

 particular ceremonial import. The dimensions of three speci- 

 mens are as follows. (See Plate XVI, C, D, E.)

It will be seen from the above measurements that these speci- 

 mens are a crude, long, thick point, in direct contrast to the 

 broad, oval, carefully outlined lance. 



Knives. At the lowest level, but some distance to the 

 left of the bannerstone caches, several rude knives were found. 

 These specimens were more carefully worked than the hand 

 daggers, with a distinct stem for hafting. They have only 

 one barb, and the blade has a distinct curve, along the lower 

 side of which the edge is better worked, which suggests that 

 only one edge was used for cutting. The points were well 

 sharpened. (See Plate XVI, F, G, H.) Dimensions:

1 They have no resemblance, however, to the "Turtlebacks," either glacial or modern.
