a higher degree of surface finish observable. Many of the rims bear angular 
lips, which in some cases appear to have been functional, in others orna- 
mental. No evidence of a chronological sequence of types was discovered; 
the more simple forms, especially those with constricted necks and flaring 
mouths, however, may be survivals of evolutional stages in the develop- 
ment of the collared type. Most of the ware differs from Neutral and most 
Tionontati and Huron pottery in being more elaborately and extensively 
decorated on the neck and the shoulders. A charred piece of three-strand 
rope and a charred remnant of what seems to have been a bag, w T oven from 
vegetal fibre, were the only textiles recovered. Tools used in the activities 
of men and women, such as the working of stone, bone, antler, wood, clay, 
and skin, consist of stone adzes (one of them with a groove across the 
front); polished stone knife-like objects; scrapers chipped from stone; 
w r hetstones; hammerstones; knives and chisels made from teeth of the 
beaver, porcupine, woodchuck, and bear; wedges and handles for tools, 
made of antler; bone awls, two of which are made of human ulnae; and 
bone needles. Most of them do not differ much from those found at other 
Iroquoian sites in Ontario and New T York. The use of some other stone, 
antler, and. bone objects is problematical. Articles of personal adornment 
consist of an unfinished antler comb; beads made of stone, earthenware, 
bone, and shell; pendants made from canine teeth of the wapiti, bear, and 
raccoon; and several gorgets made from pieces of human skull, and a frag- 
ment of another made of slate. Disks made of stone, potsherds, and earthen- 
ware, a few perforated and many flattened deer phalanges, some of the 
latter bearing what may have been distinguishing marks, may have been 
used in games, and some small earthenware pots may have been children’s 
toys. Only three fragments of stone pipes, one probably representing a bird 
form, were found, but earthenware pipes, mostly broken, were abundant. 
Several pipes w T ere made from scapulse of the deer. The making of earthen- 
ware pipes had reached a high stage of development, most of them being 
highly decorated with geometrical designs; others bear representations of 
human and animal forms. The characteristic pipe is of the trumpet type 
and bears a group of horizontal or diagonal grooves on the front of the 
bowl. A few of the artifacts were probably used in religious ceremonials 
and others may have been amuletic. Evidence of the following manufactur- 
ing processes was discovered: breaking, burning and breaking, cutting and 
breaking, cutting, chipping, pecking, rubbing or grinding, polishing, punching, 
perforating, drilling, impressing, luting, modelling, twisting, weaving, and 
painting. Decorative art is seen on pottery, pipes, and a few bone 
objects. Some of the decoration was produced with a roulette. The 
designs, which are mostly rectilinear, range from those composed of 
simple elements of one kind to elaborate combinations of several different 
elements; the latter, consisting mostly of reticulate patterns and several 
different kinds of chevrons, preponderating. There are a few crudely 
made curved lines. Impressed circles are common. Realistic, or life 
forms, which, with a few exceptions, are on earthenware pipes, include 
human forms (mostly faces) , heads of owls and other birds, snakes, a 
turtle, possible frog forms, a fish, and possible plant forms. There is also 
what seems to have been intended to represent a phallus, carved in
