HORN AND BONE IMPLEMENTS 263 



and is fiat, with rounded edges which are not parallel. The base is 

 broad and notched. It is from the Christopher site in Pompey, 

 and is not a frequent form. 



Fig. 31 is a beautiful article found by Dr Getman near Chaumont 

 bay. The edges run in a straight line from near the rounded base 

 to the sharp point. The base is deeply notched, and thence a nar- 

 row groove extends on one surface to the point. The implement is 

 flat, and quite brown in color. 



Fig. 32 is from the island at Brewerton, where so many fine 

 bone articles have been found. It is a beautiful implement, worked 

 all over, and while generally flat, it has beveled edges. There is a 

 sharp point at each end, and it is less angular there. This is in the 

 Waterbury collection, as is the next. Fig. 33 resembles the last, 

 but is broader, shorter, and has but one point, while tapering toward 

 the base. 



Fig. 31 is a peculiar long and slender awl from what is called the 

 Cayadutta fort site, in Fulton county. It has but one point, but the 

 long shaft toward the base is unusually slender. Many fine bone 

 articles have been found on this early site. This one is in the late 

 A. G. Richmond's collection. The fort was probably occupied 

 about 1600, or a little earlier. 



Fig. 38 is a unique article from Brewerton, and is in the Water- 

 bury collection. It seems part of a bear's lower jaw, cut down and 

 sharpened for an awl, but with most of the teeth remaining. This 

 is a rare feature. 



Fig. 39 is a fine and sharp bone awl, nearly flat, which was found 

 by G. W. Chapin of Fonda, at a site on Wemple creek, 3 miles 

 north of the Mohawk river. It is a large, well finished and symmet- 

 ric awl, 7 inches long, and therefore not of the very largest size. 

 Mr Chapin found it in ashes, 18 inches below the surface. It has 

 some grooves near the well wrought base. Thanks are due for the 

 loan of this fine implement. 



Fig. 40 is a remarkably fine example of a flat bone awl, approach- 

 ing the knife form. It is widest in the middle, tapering regularly 

 toward each end. Near the narrow and rounded base is a notch on 

 each side. This is from Rice's woods, near Stone Arabia. 



Fig. 41 is a fine example of a frequent form of bone awl, or pos-
