MODELLING 
Some of the nodes on the pipe stem, illustrated in Plate XXIII, figure 
14, show plainly the marks left by the tool used in modelling them. 
IMPRESSING 
Discussed on previous page. 
TWISTING 
That cords were twisted from vegetal fibres is suggested by what 
seem to be cord impressions on pottery. 
DRESS AND ADORNMENT 
Articles of dress and adornment, discovered at this site, consist of 
what may have been material for paint, combs, pin-like bone objects, 
pendants made of bone and stone, a probable wristlet made of bone, and 
beads made of shell and bone. 
PAINT 
A small piece of hematite ore, found here, may have been used for 
making face paint. 
combs 
Two broken specimens, made of concavo-convex pieces of antler, 
are probably unfinished combs (Plate XXII, figures 1 and 2). That shown 
in figure 1 bears incised ornamentation. Originally it had three teeth; 
the only one remaining is more or less smoothly finished. The tip is 
obtusely pointed. Part of the broken stub of the tooth at the right was 
removed by grooving and breaking. The rough whittled condition of the 
upper edge suggests that this comb is unfinished, probably having been 
broken in the making. The other specimen, also unfinished, is made from 
a piece derived from the expanded part of the antler, where it branches. 
It seems to have had only two teeth, one of which was cut off close after 
it became broken. The stub of the remaining tooth is smoothly finished. 
The ornamentation, and the small number and length of the teeth, 
suggest that such combs were possibly hair ornaments rather than instru- 
ments to comb the hair. 
Combs have been found at only one other prehistoric site in this 
county. Five specimens, one of them with five teeth, were found at a 
later Neutral site in lot 7, con. IV, West Oxford township. 
PINS FOR FASTENING CLOTHING, ETC. 
The specimens made of bone, illustrated in Plate XXII, figures 3 
and 4, are too slender and delicate for use as awls and so may have been 
pins for fastening clothing, a cord attached to the grooved end preventing 
loss. The one in figure 3 is oval in cross-section. The other specimen, 
figure 4, which is apparently derived from the outer wall of a rib, is thin,
