62906. A very handsome specimen of grooved ax. It is made of a
remarkable variety of porphyritic diorite that resembles breccia.
The matrix has the appearance of a gray speckled quartzite; the angular
inclusions being whitish feldspar, with dark-greenish patches of
hornblende. The surface is smooth and shows but little wear. The length
is 7 inches, the width 4, and the thickness 2 inches. The groove is
deep, and has two well-defined bordering ridges. The head is low and
rounded, and occupies about one-third of the length of the implement.
The blade is well-formed, the sides being parallel or nearly so. The
edge is slightly rounded in outline, and is polished and sharp.
62907. A grooved stone ax, 5 inches in length, 4-1/2 inches in width,
and 1-1/4 inches in thickness. The groove is placed as in the
preceding example, but has a bordering ridge on the upper side only.
The head is very large and narrow. The blade is rectangular in
outline, and has a rounded, moderately sharp edge. The material is a
compact graphic diorite (?).
62904. A grooved ax, 4 inches in length, 3-1/2 inches in width, and
three-fourths of an inch in thickness. The groove, which is well
defined, has no lateral ridges. It seems to have been made from a
flattish, oval, river pebble.
62902. Fragment of a pierced tablet of slate.
62903. A well shaped disk of translucent quartz, 1-3/4 inches in
diameter and three-fourths of an inch in thickness. The sides are
nearly flat, and the edge evenly rounded. The surface is quite smooth.
62905. Steatite pipe found on the surface of the mound. The bowl is
about 6 inches in length and 1 inch in thickness. A section is nearly
square. The cavities are roughly excavated.
