The articles shown herein are one bronze and steel-edged
tomahawk blade, found at the site of Kickapoo Fort in
Section 5, West Township, McLean Co. Ill., by Mark Piper,
one granite hatchet made from a discarded discoidal
hammer-stone (or discoidal hammer-stone made from a
discarded hatchet, which?) and one flint drill, both found
by S. W. Le Neve, at Kingfisher Hill, Menard County, Ill.
The five smaller potsherds beneath these were also found by
Mark Piper, at Kingfisher Hill.
The two perpendicular rows of stamped and rouletted
potsherds on each side of this group were found at an
ancient camp-site on the south bluff of the Sangamon river,
on the Center Farm, in the north part of Menard Co. Ill.,
by Mr. E. H. Hamilton and are now in the collection of the
McLean County Historical Society.
