THE PAMUNKEY INDIANS OF VIRGINIA. 19 



A mortar, used in pounding dry clay as above referred to, could not 

 be obtained for the collection. They are, however, made of short gum 

 logs, in one end of which the basin of the mortar is burnt out. The 

 pestle accompanying it is made of stone. 



Of the arts of the white man the Pamunkey Indians have not been 

 ready imitators. There is hardly a skilled artisan among them.
