METALLIC IMPLEMENTS OF NEW YORK INDIANS 27 
The extreme width is 2 inches and it is 14 inches wide at the 
“narrow end. The extreme depth is 14 inches. It is ridged 
on the lower side and high and _ sloping flanges form a 
socket at the broad end. These occupy more than a third 
of each lateral edge and a broad depression extends between 
them for 34 inches, against the angle of which the handle 
-abutted. This feature often appears in spearheads made for 
‘similar hafts. It was found by Chester Wells in 1885, a mile 
south of Granby Center and was long used as a wagon wrench. 
A small piece was broken out of one of the flanges by him. 
~The point is also now dull, but this might have been so cen- 
turies ago. It is now in the Bigelow collection. There is a 
‘smaller one like this in the national museum, which Dr C. C. 
Abbott called “a nameless object.” It is 73 inches long and 
has an extreme breadth of 14 inches. The flanges occupy full 
half of the length and the socket measures 84 inches to the 
| abutting angle. This came from Somerville N.J. A copper 
_ gouge, found in the Brockville mound, Canada, has similar fea- 
: tures. In the Toronto collection there is a large adz of the 
same type but on the whole it is a rare form 
mm Fig. 21 is a very small article of native copper like a celt, and 
neatly formed. It is quite flat and was found on the island at 
Brewerton. 
© Fig. 22 came from the same place. It is a small cylindric 
3 piece of native copper which appears to have been worked, but 
not into any definite form | 
Fig. 75 is a long and somewhat triangular article of native 
copper, which is flat and of uniform thickness throughout. It 
may be unfinished but would serve as a rude spear without 
sharpening. This was found at Union Springs and weighs 13 
‘ounces. It is 5% inches long and the expanded base is near ly 
an inch wide. This may have been the beginning of a flanged 
socket. | 
Fig. 29 is a tube of native copper which may have been orna- 
mental or useful, either as bead or sinker. A section of this is 
; shown. It is rough, and made of a copper plate bent into a
