two holes appear to have been drilled. One of these is seen in a fragment 
of a point for a harpoon (Plate XXIII, figure 18); the other is drilled 
through a fragment of pottery. 
Perforating. Perforations which seem to have been gouged out 
rather than drilled are seen in a fragmentary point for a harpoon (Plate 
XXIII, figure 17); in a fragment of pottery (Plate XXV, figure 8); in two 
fragments of what may have been bone needles (Plate XXXI, figures 19, 
20) ; and in two pendants made from canine teeth, one of which is illustrated 
on Plate XXXII, figure 15. 
Punching. Punching with a stylus may be seen on a number of 
fragments of pottery, especially those shown on Plate XXV, figures 11- 
14, 21, Plate XXVI, figures 7, 15, and Plate XXVII, figure 1. 
Modelling. Evidence of this process is furnished by the fragments 
of pottery, some of which probably belonged to pots which had been 
modelled from a mass of clay. 
Impressing, Impressing is seen in the decoration of pottery. 
Twisting. The cord impressions on pottery show that cords were 
made by twisting — no doubt vegetal fibres. 
DRESS AND ORNAMENT 
Only two artifacts found here may be considered for ornament. They 
are pendants made by perforating the root end of canine teeth of the 
bear and wolf. The bear tooth (Plate XXXII, figure 15) had the root 
ground down to a wedge shape before it was perforated. The hole seems 
to have been gouged out rather than drilled. A part of the tooth with 
the dentine is missing. Only a small part of the hole remains on the 
other pendant. One side of the root has been flattened by rubbing. 
Although there was an abundance of shell, no ornaments seem to have 
been made of this material. 
GAMES, AMUSEMENTS, AND SMOKING 
Gaming Disk. A small, round stone, about an inch in diameter, with 
flattened sides slightly polished (Plate XXXII, figure 16), may have been 
used as a disk in playing a game. 
Stone Gorgets. No perforated gorgets made of stone were found. 
Two objects (Plate XXXII, figures 18, 19), however, may be unfinished 
gorgets. The upper one is chipped from veined grey slate. The lower 
one is chipped from schistose slate and nearly all the facets left by the 
chipping were effaced by rubbing. 
Pipes. No pipes for smoking were discovered here, although one 
was found by Mr. Edmund Zwicker on his farm about half a mile west 
of the shell-heap. This may be modern, judging from his description.
