EARTHENWARE OF THE NEW YORK ABORIGINES IIQ 



The next plate is reduced in the same proportion. Fig. 154 has 

 a wolfs head projecting from the bowl, with grooves around the 

 latter. It is a recent but fine Cayuga pipe, and was found in a 

 grave with European articles. These projecting heads were often 

 broken ofif, and sometimes had a secondary use as ornaments. 

 Usually they were molded separately^ and attached before baking. 

 The form was common in the 17th century and a little earlier. This 

 fine pipe is 6f inches long. 



Fig. 155 shows a fine trumpet pipe from the Seneca river_, 3f 

 inches long. It comes from a fishing hamlet, where there were 

 also camps of imcertain age. A molding at the base of the bowl 

 is an unusual feature in this form of pipe. 



Fig. 156 is a plain and angular pipe, with a molding around the 

 rim. It is 4 inches long, and is a Cayuga pipe from Union Springs. 

 The type is frequent there. 



Fig. 157 shows a pipe bowl of a pattern found in a number of 

 places. It has an expanded base, divided by vertical ridges and 

 grooves. These ridges are notched across. There are four human 

 faces betvveen these and on opposite parts of the bowl. In some 

 examples a plain surface takes the place of the face. Above these 

 ribs and faces the bowl contracts and then expands toward the rim. 

 This part has horizontal grooves. This bowl comes from Rodman^ 

 Jefferson county, and is if inches across the rim. It seems to have 

 been in use late in the i6Lh century, from the connection of sites. 



Fig. 158 is from a camp site a mile east of Skaneateles lake, and is 

 3J inches in extent. A human face turns toward the smoker, and 

 much resembles one found in a stockade near Baldwinsville. There 

 are three vertical grooves below the chin. The curved stem is 

 nearly rectangular, but the angles are neatly rounded. The ma- 

 terial is quite gritty, and the rim is a little damaged. 



^^S' 159 is a thick and coarse bowl^ much like a flower pot in 

 form^ but it has a slight inward curve at the top. The rim is made 

 with an outward slope all around^ and below this are large elliptic 

 indentations. It comes from Fenner, Madison county, and is ij 

 inches wide by 2J deep. But for the location of this at or near 

 Nichols' pond^ it would not be thought an Iroquois pipe, and may 

 not have been.
