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 maily 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 v/ould 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.
