SOME ABORIGINAL SITES. 477 
notch at one end, at the bottom of which are two diagonal grooves, as shown in 
the detail accompanying the illustration (Fig. 19). Mr. Willoughby says he 
found this object to serve admirably as an ar- 
rowshaft wrench and that it тау have been so 
used. 
Mr. E. K. Williams, living about two miles 
from Paradise, Ky., possesses a bi-cave stone 
of silicious material, 4.75 inches in diameter 
and 2.8 inches across each of the hollowed por- 
tions. This stone, which is not entirely sym- 
metrical, was, according to Mr. Williams’s 
statement, found by his father on the property 
now occupied by the son. The stone was kindly 
submitted to us for examination. 
“The Indian Knoll," though larger, in com- 
position resembles a number of dwelling-sites 
farther up Green river, where shells are largely 
mixed with the dark soil. These sites are, in 
order going up: the Newton Brown Place, at 
Green River P. O., Ohio County; the Austin 
Place," Butler County; the Rhone Place and 
the Deweese Place, Butler County. 
These dwelling-sites, however, all investi- 
gated by us to some extent (except the Austin 
place, where the presence of numerous build- 
ings stood in the way), so far as ascertained 
had much more solid and deeper deposits of 
shell than is that at the Indian Knoll. <A well 
at the Deweese Place was dug through 12 feet 
of shell, it is said. At none of the places men- 
tioned was soil beneath the shell reached by 
us. Тһе burials found in our digging were 
widely scattered and had no artifacts accom-
