62883. A lot of arrow points, spear points, and knives, having a wide
range of shape and size. A serrated specimen is 3 inches in length,
and is made of yellowish striped chalcedony. One is made of white
translucent quartz, and others of dark gray and black chalcedony.
62881. A stone disk, 1-1/4 inches in diameter and three-eighths of an
inch thick. It is of gray sandstone, nicely smoothed. The edge is
rounded and the sides slightly convex.
62882. Two stone disks similar to the preceding, but smaller.
62878. A small, thick, nearly symmetrical celt, 2-1/2 inches in length,
1-1/2 inches in width, and one-half of an inch thick. The edge is
rounded in outline and well sharpened. The beveled areas are narrow
and stand at an angle of 30deg. with each other. It is widest at the
edge, tapering above to a conical point. The material is apparently a
compact greenish diorite.
62877. A small celt similar to the preceding in form and material. It is
3-1/4 inches long, and 1-3/4 inches in width near the cutting edge,
which is considerably battered.
62875. A curved celt of considerable interest, made of a greenish
diorite. It is 8 inches in length, 2-1/2 inches wide near the cutting
edge, and about 1 inch thick. It tapers toward the apex to 1-1/2
inches in width. A transverse section would be a sharp oval. A
longitudinal section showing the thickness of the implement gives a
bow-like figure, the median line of which would deflect nearly half an
inch from a straight line.
62876. A celt, 3-1/2 inches in length, of the usual form, made of a
greenish diorite.
62874. A grooved ax of gray sandstone, 5 inches long, 3 inches wide,
and 1 inch thick. The groove is deep and well rounded, and has two
bordering ridges in high relief. The head is low and conical, and the
blade narrow and rectangular. The surface has originally been quite
smooth, but is now somewhat battered.

62871. A cylindrical pestle of gray diorite (?), 11 inches long and
2 inches in diameter. The general surface is rough, the points being
smoothed by use.
62879. A perforated tablet, made of gray, chloritic schist, 2-1/2 inches
long by 1-1/2 inches broad, illustrated in Fig. 134. The sides are
notched in a way that gives a dumb-bell like outline. The ends are
almost square. Series of notches have been cut in the terminal edges.
On one of the lateral margins rude notches and zigzag lines have been
engraved. In the middle of the plate there is a circular perforation
one-fourth of an inch in diameter. Midway between this and the ends
are two other perforations, one being circular and one-eighth of an
inch in diameter, and the other lozenge or diamond shaped and nearly
one-fourth of an inch in width. These show no evidence of wear. The
surface is uneven, though somewhat polished. It has probably been used
for straightening arrow shafts and shaping strings.
62880. Fragment of a perforated tablet carved from gray slate. It has
been broken transversely near the middle, through a perforation which
has been about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. The remnant is 2
inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width at the perforation. One
side is plain, the other has a design of plain and zigzag lines. The
edges are beveled and notched. See Fig. 135.
