An ulna and five fibulae of the lynx; six ulnae, a radius and two 
splanchnic bones of the raccoon; and two styloid ends of ulnae and five 
splint bones of the moose or wapiti (Plate XIV, figure 22) were made into 
awls. There is also a worked portion of the lower jaw of a wapiti. Bones 
of the beaver seem to have been seldom used, a fibula made into an awl, 
a polished ulna and femur, a lower jaw, and a radius with one end cut 
off, being the only specimens showing artificial modification. The polish 
on a humerus and on four metacarpals or metatarsals of the hare (the 
latter were found in a clam shell), suggests that they were used for some 
special purpose. 
Besides the animal bones, made into artifacts, which have been identi- 
fied, there are a few split bones and several unfinished and finished arti- 
facts derived from bones of unidentified mammals. The latter include the 
notched piece of rib seen in Plate XVII, figure 14; several crude, slightly 
worked tools; pieces of ribs and other bones, which have been made into 
needle-like tools; two femora and a humerus of three different species of 
mammals, in process of manufacture into beads; two tibise with the 
proximal ends cut off, which are probably unfinished points for arrows, 
like those made of dog tibia?; another bone with both ends removed by 
scoring and breaking; and a harpoon point apparently made from the 
bone of a sea mammal (Plate I, figure 20). 
Bird bones were not extensively used. A few humeri, ulnae, radii, 
metacarpi, femora, and tibiotarsi of the Canada goose, swan, loon, and 
unidentified species of birds were made into points for arrows, awls, a 
spatulate object, a gouge-like tool, and many cylindrical beads (Plate XV, 
figure 11). The ulnae, especially those of the Canada goose, which are 
more or less round in cross-section, were the favourite material for beads. 
Among the rejects of manufacture are a few broken and split bones, two 
proximal and one distal joint of humeri of the Canada goose, and proximal 
joints of the same kind of bone of the loon and swan, all of which were 
severed from the shaft by scoring and breaking. A tibiotarsus of the 
Canada goose is highly polished, but it is uncertain for what purpose it 
was used. 
Only a perforated section of the bridge portion from a plastron of the 
painted turtle suggests that turtle bones were used for artifacts. 
The only fish bones that have been made into artifacts are the dorsal 
and pectoral spines of the common catfish, an unidentified bone (Plate I, 
figure 11) made into what seems to have been an arrow-point, and what 
appears to be the branchiostegal of another species, which has been trans- 
formed into a needle-like tool. 
Antler. Most of this material used in the manufacture of artifacts 
comes from the deer, at least none of it can be recognized as moose or 
wapiti antler, although bones of both animals were found. The handle in 
Plate XIV, figure 8, seems to be made from part of a caribou antler. There 
are a few unworked antlers, many partly worked pieces, especially tines, 
the latter probably mostly in process of manufacture into points for 
arrows, and one hundred and twenty-two artifacts, consisting of fifty-two
