apparently belonging to two different pots, some crude blunt tool (probably 
a rough piece of wood, or even the cord-wound twig itself, judging from 
the striae which remain) was drawn along over the top of the rows of cord 
impressions (Plate XXV, figures 21, 22). 
The most common form of decoration consists of impressions made 
with cord-wound twigs, producing horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, 
and radiating or fan-like patterns. Probably all of these were produced 
either with a straight twig spirally wound with a cord or with a hoop- 
like or looped twig, similarly wound. On some fragments the cord impres- 
sions have been partly effaced by subsequent smoothing. 
One hundred and thirty fragments, representing seventy-four different 
pots, appear to have been decorated with the straight cord-wound twigs. 
In some of these the individual cord impressions are horizontal and form 
nearly continuous lines around the vessel (Plate XXVI, figures 1, 3, and 
Plate XXVII, figure 1). In others the individual impressions are hori- 
zontal, vertical, or oblique, and are disposed in horizontal and oblique 
rows (Plate XXV, figures 10, 11, 14, 20-22, and Plate XXVI, figures 4, 
7-10). In still others part of the pattern consists of groups of oblique 
impressions and part of groups of vertical impressions (Plate XXV, 
figures 21, 22, and Plate XXVI, figures 2, 12, 13). In only one fragment 
do they form a zigzag pattern (Plate XXVI, figure 14). 
One hundred and sixty fragments, or about thirty-eight different 
pots, have been decorated with cord-wound hoops or loops, producing 
the fan-like pattern seen on Plate XXVI, figures 15-17. 
The inside surface of four rim fragments is also decorated with cord 
impressions (Plate XXVI, figure 18). The top edge of a few rim fragments 
is decorated with cord impressions made by pressing the cord-wrapped 
twig straight or diagonally across the top of the rim (Plate XXV, figure 21, 
and Plate XXVI, figure 19). On other fragments the impressions apparently 
were made by applying the twig lengthwise along the top of the rim (Plate 
XXVI, figure 20). 
All pottery found here belongs to the “archaic Algonkian group/’ 1 
TOOLS USED BY MEN 
A wedge, adzes, celts, hammerstones, knives made of teeth, a point

Wedges. Only the artifact illustrated on Plate XXX, figure 1, could 
have been a wedge. It is made of antler, and is 4 T ^ inches long. The 
sharpened edge is missing. A hole inch deep in the larger end, if not 
due to decay, may have had some purpose. The piece of antler illustrated 
in figure 2 seems to be in process of manufacture into a wedge. 
Celts and Adzes Made of Stone. Most of the seven stone celts and 
adzes found are crude. The adze or chisel on Plate XXVIII, figure 1, 
is made of an irregular fragment of micaceous slate, and retains the natural 
waterworn surface of the pebble on one side. The front, back, and the 
poll of the adze, made of schistose slate (figure 2), were left in the rough
