  small 
  hole 
  to 
  be 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  specimen. 
  The 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  open- 
  

   ing 
  suggests 
  that 
  the 
  bowl 
  had 
  been 
  rubbed 
  down 
  after 
  the 
  stem 
  

   hole 
  had 
  been 
  drilled 
  and 
  that 
  this 
  hole 
  had 
  been 
  encountered 
  then. 
  

   The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  hole 
  seems 
  to 
  indicate 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  a 
  metal 
  drill. 
  

   The 
  grave 
  in 
  which 
  this 
  pipe 
  was 
  found 
  is 
  pictured 
  in 
  plate 
  15. 
  

  

  Perhaps 
  the 
  most 
  interesting 
  of 
  the 
  pipes 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  shown 
  in 
  plate 
  

   22, 
  figure 
  5. 
  It 
  is 
  clearly 
  the 
  effigy 
  of 
  some 
  animal, 
  probably 
  some 
  

   mythical 
  monster. 
  Placed 
  face 
  down 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  grazing 
  

   animal. 
  In 
  this 
  position 
  the 
  hump 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  bowl 
  suggests 
  a 
  

   buffalo 
  but 
  the 
  large 
  bulbous 
  tail 
  and 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  do 
  not 
  

   point 
  to 
  such 
  an 
  animal. 
  The 
  material 
  is 
  rather 
  puzzling. 
  In 
  color 
  

   it 
  is 
  a 
  bluish 
  white 
  and 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  some 
  species 
  of 
  talc 
  or 
  

   steatite 
  but 
  a 
  test 
  for 
  hardness 
  disproves 
  this. 
  Mr 
  D. 
  H. 
  Newland, 
  

   Assistant 
  State 
  Geologist, 
  made 
  an. 
  analysis 
  and 
  pronounced 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  

   an 
  Ohio 
  kaolin. 
  The 
  broken 
  granular 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  pipe 
  near 
  the 
  

   bowl 
  suggests 
  that 
  it 
  had 
  been 
  molded 
  from 
  a 
  rather 
  stiff 
  clay 
  and 
  

   the 
  roughened 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  suggests 
  that 
  a 
  portion 
  has 
  been 
  

   broken 
  off 
  and 
  that 
  an 
  attempt 
  had 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  smooth 
  it 
  over 
  

   by 
  rubbing. 
  It 
  has 
  there 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  baked 
  pottery 
  the 
  sur- 
  

   face 
  of 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  rubbed 
  down. 
  The 
  glazed 
  surface 
  however 
  

   has 
  not 
  been 
  produced 
  and 
  this 
  suggests 
  that 
  the 
  pipe 
  has 
  been 
  

   hardened 
  in 
  the 
  fire. 
  Yet 
  while 
  the 
  pipe 
  from 
  these 
  appearances 
  

   seems 
  to 
  be 
  kaolin 
  it 
  seems 
  remarkable 
  that 
  instead 
  of 
  having 
  the 
  

   bowl 
  and 
  stem 
  hole 
  molded, 
  as 
  is 
  customary 
  with 
  clay 
  pipes, 
  that 
  

   these 
  holes 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  gouged 
  and 
  drilled 
  out, 
  as 
  they 
  mani- 
  

   festly 
  were. 
  The 
  hind 
  leg 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  visible 
  in 
  the 
  photograph 
  is 
  

   incised 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  reverse 
  side 
  the 
  three 
  lines 
  have 
  every 
  appearance 
  

   of 
  having 
  been 
  molded 
  as 
  if 
  in 
  plastic 
  clay. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  that 
  the 
  

   clay 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  semihardened 
  condition 
  and 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  formed 
  

   into 
  the 
  pipe 
  by 
  both 
  processes 
  and 
  afterward 
  hardened 
  by 
  firing. 
  

   The 
  pipe, 
  while 
  the 
  effigy 
  is 
  unusual, 
  does 
  not 
  differ 
  in 
  general 
  form 
  

   from 
  other 
  effigy 
  pipes 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  region. 
  There 
  is 
  nothing 
  in 
  the 
  

   workmanship 
  to 
  indicate 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  European 
  tools 
  or 
  influence 
  

   [see 
  description 
  of 
  grave 
  92 
  and 
  pi. 
  11]. 
  

  

  One 
  of 
  the 
  interesting 
  features 
  about 
  these 
  pipes 
  is 
  that 
  the 
  bowl 
  

   capacities 
  are 
  small 
  in 
  comparison 
  with 
  modern 
  European 
  pipes. 
  

   Probably 
  less 
  tobacco 
  could 
  be 
  contained 
  in 
  one 
  than 
  is 
  held 
  in 
  a 
  

   modern 
  factory 
  cigarette. 
  The 
  bowls 
  of 
  the 
  clay 
  pipes 
  were 
  a 
  little 
  

   larger. 
  No 
  tobacco 
  ashes 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  stone 
  pipes. 
  

  

  Objects 
  of 
  chipped 
  flint 
  

   Objects 
  of 
  flint 
  were 
  numerous 
  especially 
  in 
  graves 
  where 
  com- 
  

   plete 
  outfits 
  for 
  their 
  manufacture 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  several 
  instances.
