ARTICLE II. 
CHIPPED AND FLAKED IMPLEMENTS OF NEW 
BRUNSWICK. 
By William McIntosh. 
This article is the second of a series of short papers intended 
to briefly describe and illustrate the New Brunswick Stone 
Age material in the Museum of the Natural History Society 
of New Brunswick. 
The Society has been fortunate in having as members, Dr. 
L. W. Bailey, Dr. Geo. F. Matthew, the late S. W. Kain, Prof. 
W. F. Ganong, David Balmain and Duncan London. These 
gentlemen have either contributed articles on New Brunswick 
archaeology or presented specimens to the collection in the 
Museum. Many others who have found Indian relics in various 
parts of the Province have generously donated them to this 
Society. 
During the past four years, the curator, assisted by some of 
the members, has spent a part of each summer in archaeological 
research. The specimens which have accumulated from these 
various sources now number several thousand. 
The collection is especially valuable because we have a record 
of where almost every specimen was found, as well as the 
collector’s name. 
The aboriginal implements of New Brunswick have a wide 
range irr origin and use. In a broad way, they may be classed 
as chipped forms of stone, pecked or polished stone, earthenware 
or clay articles, implements and ornaments of bone, ivory, horn 
and shell, and those of wood and bark. In this article, only 
the chipped and flaked stone implements will be considered. 
Of these, the Museum possesses nearly one thousand examples, 
the larger number of which are the flaked blades usually classed 
as arrow and spear heads.
