Saws. The aborigines employed primi- 

 tive forms of the saw in shaping metal, 

 stone, bone, and other hard substances. 

 The chief use, however, was that of di- 

 viding portions of the raw material 

 intended for further elaboration. These 

 implements took many forms, and their 

 use involved two distinct processes — one 

 in which the saw employed was harder 

 than the material sawed and was oper- 

 ated by direct abrasion, and the other in 

 which the implement was softer than the 

 material cut, sharp sand being introduced 

 as the abrading agent. The former were 

 usually thin pieces of hard stone, the 

 edges of which were notched by chip-
