Σελίδα 241 - Jones33 has figured and described a series of perforated net-sinkers, of which, he remarks, "all of the perforated sort that I have seen, with one exception, were formed either of soapstone or of clay. Consisting generally of flat or rounded pieces of soapstone, irregular in shape, they vary in weight from scarcely more than an ounce to a pound and upward. The perforations are from a quarter of an inch to an inch in diameter, and are indifferently located, either in the centre or near the edge of...
Σελίδα 69 - Of this Shell they also make round Tablets of about four inches diameter, which they polish as smooth as the other, and sometimes they etch or grave thereon, Circles, Stars, a Half Moon, or any other figure suitable to their fancy. These they wear instead of Medals before or behind their Neck...
Σελίδα 321 - Generally all the Men throughout the Countrey have a Tobacco-bag with a pipe in it, hanging at their back; sometimes they make such great pipes, both of wood and stone, that they are two...
Σελίδα 172 - The old boilers or kettles of the Indians, were either made of clay, or of different kinds of pot stone (Lapis Ollaris).
Σελίδα 410 - It would seem from the above that the Indians had access to a great deal more copper than they appear ever to have made use of, limited, as it was, in comparison to the supply obtainable in the Lake Superior region. Indeed, it is not improbable that all the copper articles, found along the Atlantic coast, were brought from western localities ; and that the metal that was at hand in New Jersey was not recognized, or, at least, not utilized. Covered in part by earth, discolored by oxidation, and lying...
Σελίδα 213 - did not indicate their original use, the peculiar traces of wear which they exhibit would furnish almost conclusive evidence of the manner in which they have been employed ; for that part with which the digging was done appears, notwithstanding the hardness of the material, perfectly smooth, as if glazed, and slightly striated in the direction in which the implement penetrated the ground.
Σελίδα 229 - It is composed of small pieces of native copper, pounded together; and in the cracks between the pieces, are stuck several pieces of silver ; one .nearly the size of a four penny piece, or half a dime.
Σελίδα 379 - By the system of names imposed on the men composing the Algonquin, Iroquois, Cherokee, and other nations, a fox, a bear, a turtle, etc., is fixed upon as a badge or stem, from which the descendants may trace their parentage. To do this the figure of an animal is employed as a heraldic sign or surname. This sign is called in the Algonquin, town-mark or totem.
Σελίδα 34 - In cutting trees, fire was applied at the root, and the chisel used to clear away the coal. By a repetition of the process, trees were felled and cut to pieces. Wooden vessels were hollowed out by the same means. Fire and the chisel were the substitutes for the axe. The chisel was usually about six inches long, three wide, and two thick ; the lower end being fashioned like the edge of an axe. Stone gouges in the form of a convex chisel, were also used when a more regular concavity of the vessel was...
