216 THE AMERICAN NATURALIST. 
I could find no evidence that the rock used was detached 
from the main mass by the Indians. The material was evi- 
dently taken from the talus, fractured pieces being selected of 
the size and form most readily chipped into the implement 
desired. 
That most of the products of the Kineo workshops were 
intended for transportation and to be finished at a distance is 
evident not only from the workshop refuse itself but from the 
chips and more highly specialized forms of this material, both 
broken and perfect, which are found in nearly all the burial 
places, village and camp sites which I have examined in central 
and southern Maine. Small chips of Kineo felsite are very 
abundant in nearly all the village sites in the valleys of the 
Kennebec and Penobscot rivers and their tributaries, and also 
in the camp sites and shell heaps of the inlets, smaller rivers, 
and islands along the coast between these rivers, and for some 
distance east of the Penobscot and west of the Kennebec. 
The broken or discarded implements found in company with 
the chips in these places are more commonly small knives and 
projectile points of various forms, together with scrapers and 
perforators, types common in most prehistoric Indian village 
sites, but absent or only occasionally found at the Kineo 
workshops.
