RELICS OF A HOMESTEAD OF THE STONE AGE. 275 
similar to the elaborately chipped jaspers, that are so abundant on 
the surface, and which are believed also to have been scrapers. 
The two scrapers found measure about three inches in length, by 
one and three-quarters in breadth. They are irregularly oval, with 
the under surface, in each case, being nearly the plane of a single 
cleavage. They are both chipped from the same block or core of 
stone, a bluish grey jasper, of which many of the finest arrow- 
heads were made. 
The larger of the two scrapers bears a remarkable resemblance 
to a Bridlington scraper, figured in Mr. Evans’ work, page 276, 
fig. 218 ; but is about double the size. - 
An implement was found near the scrapers, that we will next 
refer to, before noticing the weapons proper ; the specimen being a 
finely polished skinning knife, of more than ordinary beauty of fin- — 
ish. This fine “ celt,” as it would be called in England, measures 
but three inches and one-quarter in length, and has a cutting edge 
a trace over an inch in extent. The surface generally is polished ; 
but most care has been taken with the cutting qualities of the 
instrument, and the edge and sides adjoining it have received a 
polish that we have never seen excelled in any stone implement. 
The material looks like a conglomerate of quartz and agate. 
The only other domestic implement was a rough gouge, made of 
Serpentine and with the edge well preserved. The specimen 
measures seven inches in length; the edge and a distance there- 
from of about one and one-half inches is entire and this portion 
is quite well polished, while the remainder apparently never has 
been. The edge, which is very slightly curved, measures one and 
one-half inches in width ; the corners of the blade being protected 
by a narrow ridge, which gradually widens as it recedes from the 
cutting edge. 
Nothing further of a domestic nature was found, or indeed, was 
present on the spot; for most thorough search was made, under 
very favorable circumstances ; but opposite the fire-place, in what 
appeared to have been three separate heaps which were unfortu- 
nately mixed together in uncovering them, was a fine series of 
arrow and spear points, and one or two chipped jasper specimens, 
Similar to, but not unquestionably lanceheads. 
The arrowheads being the most prominent portion of this part 
of the “find,” we will first give a hurried enumeration of their 
inbers and types. Minerslogiont a? this lot of arrowheads was
