Novaculite. A very fine-grained and 

 compact chalcedonic (quartz) rock, ordi- 

 dinarily white or whitish in color, and 

 often distinguished by the archeologist 

 by its somewhat translucent waxen ap- 

 pearance. It occurs in vast bodi'^s in 

 connection with Ordovician (Lower Silu- 

 rian) strata in Arkansas, especially in the 

 vicinity of Hot Sjirings, where it was 

 extensively quarried by the aborigines. 

 The ancient excavations here cover many 

 hundreds of acres of the motintiiin ridges 

 and are surrounded by large bodies of 

 refuse — the result of roughing-out imple- 

 ments liy flaking processes. As with the 

 great quarries of Flint Ridge, Ohio, and 

 other localities, the princii)al jiroduct was 

 the leaf-shaped l)lade, from which arrow- 

 and spear-heads and knives were to be 

 specialized, but the material was used also 

 for axes, celts, ceremonial objects, and 

 ornaments, in the manufacture of which 

 the flaking work was supplemented by 

 pecking and grinding. See Chtilcedontj,
