92 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
merely a resort for temporary hunters or war parties. In 
addition to the pottery, which shows at least occasional 
sojourning in the cave, there were fragmentary bones, too 
fragile to preserve, of a child 2 or 3 years old, of another 
somewhat older, and a small adult, possibly a woman. 
These bones were found in different: places but near the sur- 
face; there were no other indications of burials. The only 
specimens found worthy of note were a small hammer made 
of a chert twin concretion and bearing evidence of long 
service; a pebble, used for sharpening small bone implements 
and for smoothing leather or rawhide strings; and a double 
concave discoidal with V-shaped margin. 
While the results of the work at Stratman Cave contrib- 
uted little to the antiquity of man in Missouri, Mr. Fowke’s 
studies, which are accompanied by a small collection, are 
valuable in a comparative way. The Ozark region in 
Missouri is yielding many surprises to the archeologist and it 
is believed that there still remains much field work to be done 
here and in the neighborhood before the character and antiq- 
uity of the Indians of that region are definitely determined. 
With a small appropriation Mr. John L. Baer carried on 
instructive field studies on the banner stones in the Sus- 
quehanna River region, and was able to make a good series 
reaching from the imperfect form into the more symmetrical 
objects. He also investigated the pictographs found near 
Delta, Pa.
