326 THE INDIAN OCCUPANCY 



The fact, that on such sites, unbroken artifacts are found in 

 any number, is proof of their long occupation. A hunting party 

 of a dozen men might reasonably be expected to lose many arrow 

 points and javelins in the chase, but to lose an article in camp 

 would be as uncommon as it would be in a summer camp of 

 tourists. An occasional kettle might break, an occasional javelin 

 be left behind in some hurried departure, even a pipe might be 

 overlooked. The losing of half a hundred articles oixsuch a site, 

 however, means the frequent, or the long occnpation of the site.
