CHIPPED AND FLAKED IMPLEMENTS OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 47 
quarter inches long, one inch wide, and eleven-sixteenths inches 
thick. The measurement of both is exactly the same, but, as 
will be seen by the figures, they differ somewhat in outline. 
The collection contains nine of these thick, narrow scrapers, 
and a large number are about the same in width and thickness 
but shorter. 
Fig. 16/ — The specimen figured measures two and seven- 
eighths by seven-eighths by one-half inches. This is a very 
common type, perhaps nearly one-half the scrapers in the collec- 
tion being of this broad, thin class. 
Fig. 17. — Is a side view of one of the narrow, thick forms, 
but the specimen is more concave than usual. 
Fig. 18 is the largest scraper in the collection, two and three- 
quarters by five and three-eighths, barely an inch in thickness. 
It is perfectly flat on one side. 
Figs. 11, 16, 18 are all of the same type, proportioned alike, 
differing only in size. 
Fig. 19. — Specimens almost exactly like this have been 
called hoes or agricultural implements by American archaeo- 
logists but the four specimens in our possession show no signs 
of wear and the writer is of the opinion they are partly finished 
chipped celts. The collection contains a number of chipped 
and ground celts much like these. 
Fig. 20. — Is an interesting object found by the writer on an 
old Indian camp site at Washademoak Lake. It is made of 
light gray slate, beautifully banded with white, is twelve and 
one-half inches in length, eight and one-quarter inches in width 
at one end and five and one-quarter at the other and is not more 
than three-quarters of an inch in thickness. It is carefully 
chipped, flaked and pecked. It is too thin to be used for heavy 
work. Upon examination, you feel that the maker intended 
it for ornament rather than utility, perhaps a gorget or a cere- 
monial object. 
The collection contains a number of objects which do not 
belong to any of the classes described, one of these is shown in 
Fig. 21. The end is rounded and beautifully flaked to a 
smooth cutting edge, it was probably used mounted in a 
handle.
