on later Neutral pottery and very seldom on Iroquoian ware elsewhere; 
the embossed nodes and the large ornamental depressions on the inside of 
the rims also do not occur on later Neutral pottery. 
The correspondences, on the other hand, between the Uren ware and 
the later Neutral ware, are as follows: the pots are round bottomed; practic- 
ally the same kind of coarse tempering ingredients are used; a few pieces 
have rims like the overhanging rims typical of later Neutral and Iroquoian 
ware generally; both have peak-like elevations on the rims; and both have 
trailed lines. 
The divergences from Algonkian ware, in Ontario generally, are as 
follows: the ware here has a few overhanging, cornice-like rims; pitcher- 
like lips; peak-like elevations on the rims; is scarified on the outside instead 
of the inside surface; bears ribbed paddle marking; many lines are inter- 
rupted; and embossed nodes occur on the outside instead of the inside of 
the rims. 
The correspondences with Algonkian ware are: simplicity of form; 
inferior technique; chequered paddle marking; textile texturing; and 
decoration with cord -wound twigs. 
SPOONS 
Some of the spoons used by the people of this site may have been 
made of wood. It is probable that half shells of freshwater clams were 
used in some cases. The shells described on page 42 have the ventral 
margin worn down, perhaps as a result of scraping against the gritty inside 
surface of the pots containing the food. 
FORKS 
Long, pointed bone specimens, like the one illustrated in Plate XX, 
figure 16, where it is described as an awl, may have served as forks for 
conveying food to the mouth or for removing hot pieces of meat from the 
cooking pots. The modern Iroquois use a specially made wooden stick 
for the purpose. 1 
TOOLS USED BY MEN 
Tools which were probably used by men comprise an ungrooved stone 
ax, stone adze blades, hammerstones, tools made of beaver teeth, drill 
points, flaking tools, scraper-like tools, and whetstones. 
UNGROOVED AX MADE OF STONE 
Only one ungrooved stone ax 2 was found, a thick wedge-shaped speci- 
men, nearly symmetrical as seen from the narrow sides, made of hornblende 
schist.
