HARRINGTON] DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIFACTS 89 
and in the National Museum, has a bend of about 20 degrees in the 
middle and is provided with bone mouthpiece; this specimen is 
figured by C. C. Abbott on page 130 of the Putnam Report.’* 
Five of these steatite pipes were recovered from the Burton Mound, 
one of them being a fragment. They are all of medium size and 
ordinary type, such as are figured by Putnam, Plate VIII. The 
longer type (Putnam, Pl. VII), the short type (Heye,” Pl. XX VII, 
a), and anomalous types also occur on the channel. 
Fragment of pipe of gray steatite, 57 mm. long, 32 mm. wide, 22 mm. thick. 
The hole is 18 mm. diameter at the larger end and 10 mm. diameter at the 
smaller end, but this does not represent the original diameter. (Pl. 13, e.) 
Pipe of gray steatite, intact except for lack of mouthpiece; 120 mm. long. 
33 mm. diameter at large end, 24 and 19 mm. diameter at small end. The small 
end has two borings. One of these has broken through the wall of the pipe, 
making a gap in the edge of the small end 2.5 mm. diameter, besides leaving 
the edge of almost paperlike thinness. At the large end the edge is squared and 
3 mm. wide. The boring is 24.5 mm. diameter at the large end; the borings at 
the small end are 21 mm. maximum diameter, 12 mm. lesser diameter. 
(zal 187%) 
Pipe of gray steatite, mouthpiece lacking. 99.5 mm. long, 21 mm. maximum 
diameter, 23.5 mm. diameter at larger end, 13 mm. diameter at smaller end. 
Edge of larger end sharp, not squared, with a groove 2 mm. back from the edge. 
Edge of smaller end also rather sharp. The boring is 17 mm. diameter at the 
larger end, tapering to the smaller end, where it is 10 mm. diameter. The 
boring was done from both ends and is only 6.4 mm. diam. where these two 
borings meet in the interior of the pipe. (Pl. 13, a.) 
Pipe of bluish gray steatite, intact except for loss of mouthpiece. Very neatly 
made. 120 mm. long, 27.5 mm. diameter at larger end, 17 mm. diameter at 
smaller end, the extreme end being broken off, but not very much of it since 
some of the asphalt which was used for sticking the bird bone mouthpiece 
on is still intact. The edge of the larger end is squared, 5 mm. diameter and 
has an outward bulge, rounded in shape, extending some 4 mm. down the out- 
side wall of the pipe. The boring is from both ends and is 19 mm. diameter 
at the larger end, 8 mm. diameter at the smaller end. (PI. 13, b.) 
Perfect and entire pipe of dark gray steatite with mouthpiece intact. The 
body of the pipe is 92 mm. long, including the mouthpiece the pipe is 114 mm. 
long. The larger end is 31.5 mm. diameter, the smaller end is 16.5 mm. diameter. 
The edge of the larger end is rather thin and rounded; there is no bulge toward 
the outside as there is in the specimen last described, but a groove runs neatly 
around the pipe 4 mm. back from the end. The bird bone mouthpiece is 8 
mm. diameter. The end of the mouthpiece is squared straight across. The 
mouthpiece is inserted in the smaller end of the pipe and fastened in place very 
neatly and symmetrically with strong black asphalt. The pipe is bored from 
both ends, the diameter of the boring at the large end being almost that of the 
end of the pipe, which is 31.5 mm. (PI. 13, d.)
