Text Appearing Before Image:
hose observed by the writerwere not notched or worked in any way. Occasionally, sinkers notchedon both axes are found in this region. Hoes. These are usually ovoid implements, chipped from traprock, sometimes notched to facilitate hafting, and sometimes not. Theyusually show a slight polish on the blade, caused by friction with theground. This type of stone hoe is the form mentioned by early writers;but perhaps hoes of shell, bone, or tortoise shell, and wood were usedalso. None of these, however, are still in existence. Hand Choppers. Pebbles chipped to an edge on one side, for useas hand choppers, occur. These are occasionally pitted on both sides. Grooved Axes. For the purposes of this paper, the writer, whileaware that many grooved axes are well made and polished, has decidedto include them under the head of Rough Stone Articles, as by far thegreater majority of the grooved axes and celts from this region lack thepolish and finish belonging to other articles later to be described.
Text Appearing After Image:

Groove encircling three sides of blade, one side flat. 2. Ridged groove encircling three sides of blade, one side flat. 3. Groove encircling three sides of blade, longitudinal groove onflat side. 4. Groove encircling three sides of blade, longitudinal groove onflat side and opposite.
