In the Patterson collection, catalogued as from this prehistoric ceme- 
tery, are : two pieces of hammered copper ; chips of stone ; four points 
chipped from stone; a leaf-shaped point chipped from stone; three stemmed 
points chipped from stone; three points made of bone; two harpoon 
points made of bone with a hole through the tang of each; three knives 
made of copper; fragments of pottery; part of an object made of stone; 
eight adzes made of stone; an implement made of bone or antler; a pointed 
four-sided object made of stone (Plate XX, figure 3); a pipe made of 
stone (Plate XX, figure 7); and pieces of artifacts. 
Mr. George McGregor said that Micmac Indians had recently camped 
on the beach nearest to this site, that is, southwest of it, as they do at 
various places around the harbour where they sometimes obtain basket 
material. 
The writer re-excavated the circular site, which was about 10 feet in 
diameter, and secured the following pieces: five fragments of burned skull 
bones, probably human; a section of a charred human upper arm bone; a 
charred human knee cap; seven fragments of charred bones, probably 
human; charred birch bark; four chips of metargillite, two of them burned; 
three butt fragments of notched and barbed points chipped out of metar- 
gillite, three tips and a middle section, making a total of seven; one reject 
chipped from quartz with base broken off and missing; one fragment 
of a reject bearing a barb; a thick, coarse reject with point missing; one 
butt broken from a notched and barbed point of grey quartzite; four 
fragments of burned harpoon points, barbed on one edge, made of bone, 
one of which is illustrated in Plate VI, figure 17, and two of which are 
notched across the barbed edge, one of them having on the back edge a 
row of shallow pits, apparently decorative; a fragment of a burned harpoon 
point, barbed on one edge and notched across its front edge and rear edges 
(Plate VI, figure 20) ; a fragment of a thin burned object, lenticular in section, 
made of bone, possibly an awl or needle, but probably the tip of a barbed 
harpoon point; two burned harpoon points barbed on both edges and made 
of bone (Plate VIII, figures 1 and 2); two burned fragments, apparently 
sections of shafts of such points; twenty-one fragments of pottery; two 
fragments of an adze made of stone; a piece of burned bone showing 
longitudinal grooving and breaking; and a fragment of burned bone with 
both ends missing, roughly rectangular in section, broken on one side, 
with two sides apparently plain, although one of them is much injured, 
and the fourth side bearing a longitudinal row of pits, probably a decora- 
tion. These are catalogued under Nos. VIII-B-668 to VIII-B-690. 
Shell-heap I (Figure 1). Most of this heap has been washed away by 
the sea, so that it is now only about 10 feet long by 5 feet wide by 1 foot 
high. It is situated on the farm of Mr. George McGregor, on Big island. 
It was dug over by Patterson (b, pages 29-31), and very little has been found 
there since. Mr. McGregor states that he remembers when Indians 
camped there, but as even to this day they move about the harbour, camping 
practically where they choose, their location near the old shell-heap may 
have no historical significance. Wintemberg found the shells of the oyster, 
quahog, other clams, and Crepidula fornicata, three chips of stone, and a
