Unilaterally Barbed Bone Points for Harpoons. The fragment seen on 
Plate XXIII, figure 16, of what was probably the basal end of a point 
for a harpoon, is round in cross-section and on one side has a prominent 
mid-rib which may have extended the full length of the specimen. This 
mid-rib bears four shallow notches. Two fragments of what appear to be 
unfinished, unilaterally barbed bone points for harpoons were also found 
(figures 17, 18). They both have a line hole near one edge of the basal 
end as in harpoon points of the Eskimo. 
Bilaterally Barbed Bone Point for Harpoon. The slender bone point, 
inches long (figure 19), has a row of four blunt and much worn barbs 
along the middle of each edge. 
Fish-hooks. Some of the smaller, pointed bone objects considered 
as awls, as that illustrated on Plate XXXI, figure 12, may have been used 
as barbs for fish-hooks. 
Net Sinkers. No notched pebbles suggesting use as net sinkers were 
found. 
PREPARATION OF FOOD 
Some points chipped from stone, possibly used as knives, a stone on 
which food may have been crushed, and fragments of pottery were found. 
Knives. Some of the points chipped from stone (Plate XXIII, figures 
1-6) may have been used as points for knives. 
Stones on Which Food TFas Crashed. No hollowed stone mortars or 
pestles were found. The abrasions on the flat surface of the large stone on 
Plate XXVII, figure 2, possibly resulted from cracking on it nuts and like 
plant foods. Animal bones may also have been broken on this stone to 
fit into cooking pots or to expose the marrow. The stone hammer seen on 
Plate XXX, figure 3, may have been used for cracking nuts, crushing 
seeds, and breaking bones. 
Pottery. No whole pots were found. Fragments of pottery w T ere 
more numerous than any other kind of artifact, seven hundred and forty- 
three pieces being found in the heap at depths of from 3 to 18 inches. 
These probably represent two hundred and twenty different pots, twenty- 
seven pots being represented by fragments of rims. There are as many 
as eighty fragments belonging to one pot. 
Judging from the curvature of some of the fragments, the pots ranged 
in size from those 3 inches in diameter and holding perhaps half a pint, 
of which there were five, to some with a capacity of more than 2 gallons. 
The greatest thickness of the ware is about half an inch, the least about one- 
fourth of an inch, but most of it is about three-eighths of an inch thick. 
All the pots seem to have had rounded bottoms. The rims of some 
were straight, others were slightly everted, and some had a slight lip 
(text Figure 3). The neck of only one pot, Plate XXVII, figure 1, and 
text Figure 3 d was markedly constricted. The edges of the rim are 
sometimes squared off as in figure b, and sometimes rounded off as in c. 
None of the pots had handles or perforations through the rim for suspension.
