COLLECTIONS FROM WOLPI. 



ARTICLES OF STONE. 



AXES, HAMMERS, #c. 



1412. (42206). Grooved axe of black fine-grained sandstone, about eight 

 inches long ; water- worn to its present shape, afterward grooved 

 to render it suitable for use. 



1413. (42207). Fig. 504. Grooved axe, of basalt. The only specimen 

 of this particular form in the collection. 



1414. (42208). Fig. 505. Large stone celt of coarse sandstone, light gray 

 color. It is shaped more like a wedge than the cut indicates. It 

 is difficult to conjecture what this implement could have been 

 used for. The sandstone of which it is made is too soft for either 

 splitting or hammering. As it is about ten inches long and has 

 four flat sides it may have been a grinder, as many of those im- 

 plements are not unlike it in length and appearance. Its surface 

 is quite rough and pitted. 



1415. (42209). Sandstone maul, grooved, surface rough. 



141G. (42210). Triangular-shaped maul, grooved in the middle; of coarse 

 basalt. This and similar mauls evidently at one time had han- 

 dles fixed to them, but at the present day it is not uncommon to 

 see the modern Pueblo Indians holding them in the hand to crush 

 their grain, chili or red-pepper pods in round mortars. 



1417. (42211). Grooved axe of basalt. 



1418. (42212). Small grooved axe of metam Orphic rock. 



1419. (42213). Fig. 507. Water-worn boulder of quartzite, grooved 

 around the centre. 



1420. (42214). Basaltic maul, grooved in the middle like the preceding. 

 Used by the Indians at the present day for pounding chiM or red 

 pepper. 



1421. (42216). Groved axe of greenstone, quite long, well shaped, and 

 nicely polished. 



1422. (42217). Grooved axe of greenstone, similar to the preceding. 



1423. (42218). Grooved axe of sandstone ; top square. 



1424. (42219). Axe of basalt, grooved on three sides. 



1425. (42220). Grooved axe of greenstone. 



1426. (42221). Grooved axe of quartz. 



1427. (42222). Grooved axe of sandstone. Groove very near the top. 



1428. (42223). Grooved axe of greenstone, well polished. 



1429. (42224). Grooved axe of schistose rock, much flattened, with a 

 small second groove below the larger one.
