Noi'th and west of this region we find the Ircxiuois teiriloi-y, where 

 most worked celts are an^ulai'. having- almost invariahly a rectanj^ular 

 cross-section and scpiared l)Utt. Tyix's 1 and 3 also occur, but the celt 

 with the i'ectan<iular cross-section seems most typical of" the Ircxjuoian 

 rejiion. Many small celts, made of flat frapnents or chips of stone, are 

 also found in this area, and these could scarcely have had a use as chop- 

 pin<2; tools. 



In the Niagara watershed and extending- eastward as far as the 

 Genes(^e Valley, an angular adze-like form having a trapezoidal cross- 

 section occurs. It is found principally in what was the territory of the 

 Attiwandaronk, Kah-Kwah, or Neutral Nation (an Iroquoian tribe, 

 early annihilated by the Five Nations). It also occurs, as has been 

 stated, on the sites of villages of the Iroquois proper, but is not abundant. 

 South of the Iroquois in Central Pennsylvania, another form which does 

 not occur in this region is the chipped celt, usually of flint or other hard 

 stone. This form is, however, frequent in the country about the head- 

 waters of the Delaware. 



In the ''American Anthropologist," Vol. 9, No. 2, p. 296 et seq., 

 Mr. C. C. Will()ugh])v has figured and described the celts of the New- 

 England region with remarks on the methods of hafting employed. 

 These seem to be two in number, and consist, in the case of the larger 

 forms, of setting the l)lade through a hole in the end of a club-like handle, 

 the butt or ])()11 ])i'ojecting on one sidi^ and the l)lade on the othei* as in one 

 which was found in the muck of a ix)nd l)()ttom at Thorndale, Dutchess 

 ( 'ounty, New York, a region once in the Mahikan teri-itoiy. Smaller celts 

 were set into a club-like handle, the ])utt I'esting in a hole or socket. 



Adzes. These seem to be of two kinds, the first and most simi)le 

 being celt-like, ])ut flat on one side, the other side being beveled to an 

 edge on one side. Tlu^ second form dii'fei's in having a groove, which is 

 not infi(Miuently ridged. Occasionally, adzes with two i)arallel grooves
