62752. Grooved ax, 8 inches in length, 3-1/2 in width, and about 1 in
thickness; one side is quite flat, the other convex. The material is a
banded schistose slate.
62758. A fine specimen of grooved ax, 7 inches in length, 4 in width,
and 1-1/2 in thickness. The groove is wide and shallow, and is
bordered by two narrow ridges, which are in sharp relief all the way
around. The material appears to be a greenish-gray diorite.
62759. A grooved ax, 6 inches long, 3-1/2 inches wide, and 1 inch thick.
This specimen is similar to the preceding, the groove being deeper on
the lateral edges of the implement, and the upper end less prominent.
It is made of a fine-grained gray sandstone.
62753. Fragment of a grooved ax, of gray slate. The groove is shallow
and irregular.
62754. Celt of compact gray sandstone, somewhat chipped at the ends. It
is 6-1/2 inches in length by 2-1/2 in width and 1-1/2 in thickness.
One face is flat, the other convex. The sides are nearly parallel. A
transverse section would be sub rectangular.
62755. Fragment of celt, 3 inches in length by 2 in width and about
1-1/2 in thickness. The material is a fine grained sandstone or a
diorite.
62756. A long, slender celt, very carefully finished, 7 inches in
length, 2 in width, and less than 1 in thickness. The material is a
very compact gray slate. It has apparently been recently used as a
scythe-stone by some harvester.
62757. Fragment of a small, narrow celt, both ends of which are lost.
Material, gray diorite.
62760. Heavy celt of gray diorite, 8 inches in length by 3 in width and
2-1/2 in thickness.
62762. A pestle of gray diorite, with enlarged base and tapering top,
5-1/2 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter at the base.
62751. A pestle of banded schistose slate, 15 inches in length, and
2-1/2 inches in diameter in the middle, tapering symmetrically toward
the ends, which terminate in rounded points.
62763. A ceremonial (?) stone resembling somewhat a small broad-bladed
pick, the outline being nearly semicircular. It is pierced as a pick
is pierced for the insertion of a handle. It is 2-1/2 inches in
length, 1-1/2 in width, and three-fourths of an inch in thickness. The
material is a soft greenish mottled serpentine, or serpentinoid
limestone. Fig. 116.
[Illustration: Fig. 116.]
62761. A pierced tablet of gray slate, 4-1/2 inches long, 1-1/2 inches
wide, and half an inch thick. The two perforations are 2-1/2 inches
apart; they have been bored from opposite sides, and show no evidence
of use. Nine notches have been cut in one end of the tablet. It has
been much injured by recent use as a whetstone.
62764. Cup stone of rough sandstone, having seventeen shallow cup-like
depressions, from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The stone is of irregular
outline, about 10 inches in diameter and 4 in thickness.
62765. A large pipe of gray steatite; the bowl is square and about 3
inches in length, by 1 in diameter. The stem end is 4 inches in length
and three-fourths of an inch in diameter. The bowl has a deep, conical
excavation. The same is true of the stem-end also.
