Beads 
Several earthenware beads (Plate XII, figure 8) have been found on 
widely separated sites in southern Ontario, a few being from Tionontati 
sites, a few from Huron sites near Orillia and in Victoria county, others 
from Mohawk-Onondaga sites in eastern Ontario and from the site of 
Hochelaga, one from the last-mentioned having a crenated edge. They do 
not occur on Algonkian sites. 
Disks 
A few disks of modelled earthenware and many made from potsherds 
have been found on late pre-European Mohawk-Onondaga sites. Potsherd 
disks are common on early Huron sites in the central part of southern 
Ontario (Plate XII, figure 13). A few imperforate disks of potsherds, 
and some with a median perforation (Plate XII, figure 14), have been 
found at Neutral sites of the archaic and transitional periods. They are 
not found on Algonkian sites. 
BONE, ANTLER, TEETH, AND SHELL ARTIFACTS 
The bone work of the pre-European Algonkian of Ontario and Quebec 
was poorly developed. Only two bone awls, 1 and no artifacts of antler, 
teeth, and shell, have been found on their sites; and one of the awls may 
have been left by Iroquois, because fragments of Iroquoian pottery were 
found in the same locality. The Iroquoian peoples, on the other hand, 
were expert bone workers, bone and antler artifacts being more abundant 
than those of stone. Artifacts of teeth and shell are also common on 
Iroquoian sites. 
Bone and Antler 
Bone and antler were made into the following artifacts. 
Arrow Points 
The arrow points are either solid, pointed pieces of bone with wedge- 
shaped, tapering (Plate XV, figure 1), or notched bases; a few have both 
faces near the base grooved for insertion in the cleft end of the arrow 
shaft, or else they are hollow pieces of bone and antler, in some cases with 
barbed bases (Plate XV, figure 2, and Plate XVI, figures 2 and 3) ; speci- 
mens of the second kind are less common at Tionontati, Huron, and 
Neutral sites than on Mohawk-Onondaga sites. 
Harpoon Points 
Harpoon points are of two types. One type, made of bone and antler, 
is unilaterally barbed, having from one to four barbs on one edge only 
(Plate XVI, figure 1); the other is bilaterally barbed (Plate XV, figure 3), 
having from one to five barbs on both edges, in a few cases more on one edge 
than on the other. Points of the second type are mostly more slender 
than points of the first. Only the unilaterally barbed points are perforated. 
'Bone and antler artifacts are more common on Algonkian sites in the Maritime Provinces, New England 
states, and New York.
