 in the District of Columbia. 



The American Anthropologist, ill, No. 1, January, 1890, pp. 1-26. 



This paper describes the explorations of an ancient quarry where quartzite bowlders were 

 obtained for the manufacture of implements. It is shown that one form only was pro- 

 duced, a heavy leaf-shaped blade from 1 to 5 inches in length, and that this was probably 

 the "blank" from which knives and arrow points were to be made. The conclusion is 

 reached that there is no evidence pointing to the existence in the Potomac Valley of any 

 other people than the Indian.

This is a discussion of the elementary stages of the decorative art, and especially of the in- 

 fluences exerted by technique in the textile and ceramic arts upon the forms of such natu- 

 ral objects as happened to be utilized in embellishment.

 engraved and painted upon the walls. The work is comparatively recent and is attributed 

 to the Algonkian peoples.
