Construction materials, building haedwake, and fittings — Contimxed 



Door springs (Nos. 1583, 1596). 



Door roller (No. 439). Probably from a barn door. 



Door fittings (Nos. 705, 739, 785, 1698) . 



Door hooks (Nos. 26, 139, 479, 558, 860). 



Latches and hasps (Nos. 24, 25, 141, 153, 598, 602, 756, 1198, 1232, 1503, 2058). 



Hinges (Nos. 29, 106, 108, 142, 156-160, 258-264, 288-295, 368, 436, 437, 509, 

 510, 597, 599, 603-605, 607, 608, 619, 620, 696-699, 704, 727, 730, 733, 

 735, 740, 746, 827, 864, 869, 911, 920, 922, 1067-1072, 1080, 1156, 1202, 

 1226, 1399, 1501, 1509, 1546-1548, 1633, 1758, 1863, 1S64). Numerous door 

 hinges, of several sizes, and several strap hinges. The latter may be 

 largely of recent farm origin, derived from farm machinery. The door 

 hinges of "butterfly" type are decorated in many instances with an 

 arabesque design, cast or etched into the metal. The use of similar ara- 

 besque designs for machine-made objects is well represented in the ob- 

 jects excavated at the site, notably in the lamps and lamp brackets 

 mentioned elsewhere. 



Keys and key-plates (Nos. 150, 404, 590, 591, 1400, 2057). Four iron house- 

 hold keys (Nos. 590, 591) found together, three of the four on the original 

 ring (pi. 51, p), on the site of the West Wing of the Hospital. The keys 

 have tongues of different patterns, and may have opened special locks 

 about the Hospital. One brass key (No. 404) (pi. 51, k) with decorated 

 grip probably fitted a cabinet lock. 



Padlocks (Nos. 246, 1203, 1402, 1495, 1889). Specimens of several styles of 

 sheet-steel padlocks (pi. 51, a) and one of heavy cast brass. The latter 

 (No. 1203) (pi. 51, j), possibly a military issue item, bears the etched let- 

 tering : "United States/Lock," with six-pointed stars. This lock was found 

 in excavation along the front wall line of the Commissary Storehouse and 

 may have been a military issue item for use on public stores. 



Safe-knoJ) (No. 1227). Knurled safe-knob, with graduations (li/4 inches 

 in diameter). Like the padlock mentioned above, this item was found 

 in excavation along the front wall line of the Commissary Storehouse, and 

 may represent a military item. 



Windoiv-shade holder (No. 1502). 



Shelf iraeket (No. 784). 



Faucets (No. 1242, 1255, 1554) (pi. 52, b). One (No. 1242) of heavy brass 

 (1 inch in diameter). 



ripe fittings (No. 1865/1-2). 



Corner plate (Nos. 921, 1248, 1695) . 



Wall or clothes hooks (Nos. 4.34, 584, 1221-1223) . 



Building pin (No. 859) . 

 Domestic furnishings and utensils : 



Stoves and furnaces (Nos. 68, 240, 242, 244, 252-255, 276, 278-283, 360- 

 362, 465, 466, 483, 485, 491, 495, 611, 613, 641-650, 652-656, 658-672, 702, 

 706, 855, 991, 1204, 1228, 1229, 1361, 1504, 1603, 1650, 1872). The base 

 of a heating stove of sheet steel, probably suitable for use with the 

 lignite available at the post, was found in the excavation of the site of 

 the West Wing of the Hospital. It was badly damaged by the heat of 

 the fire that destroyed the btiilding and was not preserved. Army type 

 mess-kitchen range (pi. 49, &) of sheet steel was found at the site of 

 the Commissary Storehouse, on the surface at the site of the cellar, 

 which had been used as a dump. This range hardly seems suited to 

 farm kitchen needs, and probably had been left at the site when the 

 Indian school was removed. The range may also have been used prior
