EARTHENWARE OF THE NEW YORK ABORIGINES 12/ 



Fig. 208 is a pipe bowl nearly an inch wide, found on the site 

 of a circular stockade near Baldwinsville. The face^ with its open 

 mouth, differs little from many others, but there is a neat head 

 dress behind this^ made up of dots and lines, suggesting one in 

 actual use. 



Fig. 209 is taken from a drawing of a fine pipe found on Fort 

 Hill, Le Roy. It is 4 inches long, and has two raised human heads 

 on the back of the bowl^ facing the smoker. The back below these 

 has a plain surface with oblong indentations. This flattened sur- 

 face is continued on the top of the stem, which is angular through- 

 out. The front of the bowl, with its dots and grooves, is much like 

 some other Seneca pipes. This pipe has now disappeared. From 

 the drawing furnished by Mr Moseley it would seem that one of 

 the heads is that of a white man, not an improbable thing at the 

 time the pipe was made. Unfortunately this can not be determined 

 now^ and the drawing is given as made some years since. 



A pipe bowl from a Baldwinsville stockade has three narrow and 

 horizontal ellipses within a double triangle, which has the point 

 above. The elliptic grooves represent the eyes and mouth. 



A Jefferson county pipe has a beaver on the front and beneath 

 the bowl. The top is contracted, and the marks of molding tools 

 plainly appear. A large and thick angular bowl, with concentric 

 interrupted grooves inclosing a 16 rayed star or flower, comes from 

 Sacket Harbor, from whence comes also a swimming goose on the 

 upper part of a large bowl. The bird's head is broken off. A 

 thick and angular pipe, much like those from Cayuga^ also comes 

 from Rutland, in that county. Another from the same place has a 

 slender stem, and an expanding straight-sided bowl with diagonal 

 grooves and dots. It is 4^ inches long, and the bowl is compar- 

 atively low. A thick trumpet pipe, 5f inches long, comes from 

 Dexter, and a similar smaller one from Le Ray. A pipe with a very 

 broad and flat stem, but somewhat convex above and below^ is 3 

 inches long, and was found at Alexandria Bay. A bird pipe from 

 the Thousand Islands, is 3 inches wide, and has grooves on the 

 wings and tail. Some others from this county will be mentioned 

 later.
