214 THE STONE AGE IN NEW JERSEY. 
termine the locality of each, unless the mineral, from which they ; 
were made, would decide the question; and another interesting — 
feature is the similarity between arrow, spear and harpoon points 
of an age long past and those now being used and made by the 
. savages who are still more or Fig. 66, he 
less completely in their stone 
age. Bearing this in mind, 
we call attention to the * har- 
poonpoint,” which in all im- 
portant features is identical 
with one figured by Prof. Nils- 
son,* and concerning which 
he says, “the “stone points 
(for harpoons) vary in shape; 
sometimes they are as in pl. 
iii, figs. 45,47. Such are like- 
wise found in Scania...» 
The broad head seems to indi- 
cate that they have been har- 
A E poons rather than arrowheads. 
Natural size, . .. . It appears to me cer- 
tain that pl. x, fig. 203 has 
been the stone point of an harpoon. . . . A person who had 
resided in Greenland recognized it at once as such.” Here 
that a New Jersey and an ancient Scandinavian specimen, 
Greenland one of the present day are identical. Tf bre 
the head of arrowpoints is an indica- 
tion of use as harpoons, then several 
that we have figured must be pla 
under that heading ; but while they have 
unquestionably sufficient breadth, as 
shown in Figs. 36 and 37 and 38 and pf 
39, they have not a notched or other JAn 
style of base, that would secure a firm | 
fastening to the staff of the implement. 
In concluding the subject of ‘arrow 
oS heads,” in this present paper, we desire 
to call attention to two other examples of specimens 
marked similarity to those figured by ethnologists in 
203;
