specimen, figure 15, has an enlarged head, but one that is lanceolate with 
lenticular cross-section. The edge on one side of the head is practically 
in a straight line with the remaining part of that side of the object, the sharp 
edge of the head gradually rounding off into the rounded edge of the shaft. 
On the other side, the sharp part ends abruptly where the shaft expands 
to meet it. A similar specimen, but cruder and shorter, was found in the 
same heap. 
One fragment of a flat, simple point, with about a third at the tip 
missing (Plate V, figure 16), narrows but does not thin out much towards 
the blunt base and has a wide, wave-shaped notch in each edge, near its 
middle. One notch is deep, the other hardly perceptible. Both show 
striations caused by grinding across the edge of the object in making 
them. Another specimen (Plate V, figure 17) is a basal end narrowed and 
thinned to a blunt end, and has a notch in one edge about three-quarters 
of an inch from the end. This notch seems to have been a hole, tapering 
inwards from each opening, which now appears as a notch because of the 
cutting away of part of the side of the object. The notches in these two 
points with flattened bases were probably to facilitate fastening them in 
the split end of a shaft. 
One entire, slender, lath-shaped point was found in heap D. Two frag- 
ments of points made of hollow bird-bones, and one end of a large bone sliced 
off at a bevel forming a lance-shaped point — the last possibly not of this 
class — were also found in the same heap. An end fragment of a very bulky 
point about five-eighths by three-quarters of an inch in section was also 
found there. 
Five fragments of wide, flat, lance-shaped points, made of bone and 
lenticular in cross-section, were found, three in heap A (Plate V, figures 18 
and 19), and two in heap D. 
A point, unique of its kind among finds on the harbour (Plate V, 
figure 20), is made of part of the wall of a medium-sized bone. It is sharp- 
ened to an acute point, but the side edges, unlike those of the points illus- 
trated in Plate V, figures 18 and 19, are dull. The base is broken nearly 
square across, so that the specimen may possibly be a fragment of some 
longer object, and not a point. The long, shallow notches in the sides at 
the base, however, not only give it its unique character, but also make it 
seem to be a point for an arrow. 
Another specimen made of bone (Plate V, figure 21), leaf-shaped in 
outline and lenticular in cross-section, but with rather rounded side edges, 
is unique in being bevelled from just below the middle to the base, as if 
it had been lashed to the end of a foreshaft or had been reversed and 
lashed on as a barb. 
No points made by sharpening the tips of antlers were found on the 
harbour, though they are common in Maine 1 and beyond to Arkansas. 
An object, supposed to be a point for an arrow or harpoon (Plate V, 
figure 22), is made of a tooth of a shark with the sides of the artificially 
concaved base cut until this end is almost wedge-shaped and with a notch 
on each edge, so that it resembles the base of a notched, chipped point for 
an arrow.
