probably on some of the specimens described as whetstones. The scoring 
seen on 'the sides of two out of six long specimens derived from bird bones 
(mostly humeri), suggests that they are probably in process of further 
subdivision into short beads. 
Discoidal Bone Beads. No discoidal beads made of thin pieces of bone 
were found; they are rare at Iroquois sites elsewhere. 1 
None of the larger fish vertebrae was artificially perforated for use 
as a bead. 
Pendants 
Several objects found here were probably used as pendants, some of 
them perhaps being strung with some of the beads described above. 
No pendants made of thin, round or oval pebbles, common at Neutral 
sites in southwestern Ontario, were found. There w T ere also no pendants 
of shell, unless the perforated shell of the pond snail on Plate XV, figure 
8, can be so considered. 
A periotic bone of the deer may have been a pendant; at least the 
polished surface suggests some such use. 
Five pendants were made of teeth. One of these, a bear canine (Plate 
XV, figure 2) has part of one side slightly flattened and the root end 
notched for suspension. Notched bear canines have been found at early 
Huron sites in York county, Ontario, and at Onondaga and Mohawk sites 
in New York; at Roebuck there was a canine of a raccoon, with the root 
similarly notched for suspension (Cat. No. VIII-F-14087). Two other 
canines of the bear, one of which is seen in Plate XV, figure 3, have a 
suspension hole through the root, as in other bear teeth from Iroquoian 
sites elsewhere in Ontario and New York. A perforated, highly polished 
tooth of the wapiti is seen in Plate XV, figure 4 . Perforated teeth of this 
animal have also been found at other Iroquoian sites. 
Some of the perforated objects made from phalanges of the deer (Plate 
XV, figures 19 to 23) may have been used as pendants. 
Gorgets 
It is possible that the stone gorgets, described on page 74, and also 
those derived from pieces of human skull (Plate XV, figures 32 and 33), 
were worn as ornaments. 
Wristlets 
No wristlets or armlets made of bone or antler were found, but their 
use is suggested by the discovery of a fragment of what appears to have 
been one of these objects, at a nearby site (See Smith, 2, Plate LNXVIII, 
figure 3). 
Bracelets may have been made of strings of shell, 2 stone, and bone 
beads. 
iThe writer found two specimens on Neutral sites in Waterloo and Oxford counties, Ontario (1 : 274). 
*Cartier (p. 252) mentions the use of “bracelets made of Esnoguy," by the people of the lower St. Lawrence, who 
were probably related to the people of this site. Father du Peron, op. cit., p. 155, says the Hurons wore "bracelets 
of porcelain."
