  The 
  trumpet-shaped 
  pipe 
  shown 
  in 
  plate 
  31, 
  figure 
  5, 
  came 
  from 
  

   grave 
  LXXXVI 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  with 
  pot 
  F446 
  [pi. 
  28, 
  fig. 
  6], 
  and 
  

   two 
  celts. 
  In 
  comparison 
  with 
  the 
  other 
  stemmed 
  pipes 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  

   shorter 
  but 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  ever 
  been 
  broken. 
  

  

  The 
  wide 
  flaring 
  platform-topped 
  pipe 
  shown 
  in 
  plate 
  31, 
  figure 
  

   6, 
  is 
  a 
  modification 
  of 
  the 
  trumpet 
  form. 
  The 
  top 
  or 
  platform 
  is 
  

   flat 
  and 
  quite 
  perfectly 
  circular. 
  This 
  type 
  is 
  common 
  almost 
  every- 
  

   where 
  in 
  the 
  Iroquoian 
  region 
  but 
  particularly 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  Erie 
  region. 
  

   Many 
  of 
  this 
  type 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  prehistoric 
  Onondaga 
  sites 
  in 
  

   Jefferson 
  county.

  Two 
  interesting 
  pipe 
  bowls 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  animal 
  heads 
  were 
  

   found 
  in 
  refuse 
  pits. 
  One 
  is 
  plainly 
  a 
  bear's 
  head 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  polished 
  

   black 
  clay. 
  The 
  other 
  is 
  of 
  ordinary 
  red 
  clay. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  easy 
  to 
  de- 
  

   cide 
  just 
  what 
  is 
  meant 
  to 
  be 
  represented 
  by 
  the 
  effigy. 
  Some 
  who 
  

   have 
  examined 
  it 
  have 
  thought 
  it 
  intended 
  for 
  a 
  fox 
  [see 
  text 
  fig. 
  

   25a, 
  b]. 
  

  

  Bone 
  

  

  Articles 
  of 
  bone 
  and 
  antler 
  were 
  particularly 
  numerous 
  and 
  

   varied. 
  Except 
  for 
  about 
  10 
  specimens 
  all 
  came 
  from 
  ash 
  pits. 
  

  

  The 
  great 
  abundance 
  of 
  awls 
  points 
  out 
  their 
  extensive 
  use. 
  The 
  

   awls 
  were 
  of 
  the 
  usual 
  forms, 
  flat, 
  cylindrical, 
  tubular 
  handled, 
  and 
  

   those 
  having 
  a 
  joint 
  end. 
  There 
  were 
  also 
  awls 
  made 
  from 
  small 
  

   splinters. 
  The 
  principal 
  forms 
  are 
  shown 
  in 
  plate 
  32. 
  

  

  Bone 
  beads 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  every 
  ash 
  pit 
  and 
  varied 
  from 
  crudely 
  

   broken 
  sections 
  of 
  bird 
  and 
  small 
  mammal 
  bones 
  to 
  well 
  shaped 
  

   and 
  highly 
  polished 
  cylinders. 
  . 
  That 
  so 
  many 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  

   thrown 
  in 
  amongst 
  the 
  refuse 
  seems 
  rather 
  remarkable 
  and 
  almost 
  

   seems 
  to 
  indicate 
  something 
  more 
  than 
  accident. 
  These 
  beads 
  

   ranged 
  from 
  3/3,2 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter 
  to 
  Y% 
  inch 
  although 
  the 
  majority 
  

   were 
  about 
  ^ 
  inch 
  m 
  diameter. 
  One 
  form 
  [see 
  pi. 
  33, 
  fig. 
  5] 
  has 
  

   the 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  handle. 
  The 
  range 
  of 
  forms 
  of 
  the 
  larger 
  

   polished 
  bone 
  beads 
  is 
  shown 
  in 
  text 
  figure 
  26. 
  

  

  Perforated 
  elk, 
  wolf 
  and 
  bear 
  teeth 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  refuse 
  pits 
  

   Perforated 
  bear 
  tusks 
  were 
  found 
  previously 
  by 
  local 
  collectors 
  of 
  

   Indian 
  relics. 
  Figure 
  1 
  in 
  plate 
  34 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  bear's 
  molar. 
  It 
  is 
  

   a 
  beautiful 
  specimen 
  and 
  highly 
  polished. 
  There 
  were 
  several 
  per- 
  

   forated 
  elk 
  teeth 
  but 
  none 
  with 
  complete 
  perforations. 
  Each 
  had 
  

   been 
  broken. 
  A 
  perforated 
  turtle 
  shell 
  fragment 
  is 
  shown 
  in 
  figure 
  

   IT, 
  plate 
  34, 
  and 
  came 
  from 
  an 
  ash 
  pit. 
  Other 
  broken 
  perforated 
  

   carapaces 
  were 
  found 
  in, 
  graves.
