Text Appearing Before Image:
Fig. 24.PlEECED TAHLETS AND BOAT STIAPED ARTICLES (J). Pencl(mts.—^o. 205 is of trap rock; 206 a flat sandstone pebble, fromRhode Island ; 207, same, from Pennsylvania; 208, same, Virginia; 209,argillaceous slate from a mound in Ohio, where it was found lying nearthe neck of a skeleton. Bird-shaped ohjccfs.—Though this name has been given to numerousrelics from their general resemblance to birds, their shapes are so vari-ous as to leave the design often uncertain. Some specimens more re-semble the fence lizard, and the eyes are frequently indicated by small,round protuberances. The objects are generally of soft stone, such as A STUDY OF PREHISTORIO ANTHROPOLOGY. 651 the favorite green-striped slate; yet sometimes syenite and other hardsubstances have been employed. 205 201 202
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 25.Stone Beads, Pendants, and other Ornaments. 1^0. 210 is striped slate from Pennsylvania. Small holes are drilledfrom the bottom and end, respectively, diagonally so as to meet and 652 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1888. form a coutinuous hole. The purpose of these have been for a long-period unknown. A Chippewa Indian told me, in the Smithsonian In-stitution, last summer, that they served for gaming. Tliey were placedin a pan or basket, which, being covered, was shaken and then set downquietly, the cover removed, and an inspection would show how manyof the birds were seated upright. The player having the greatest num-ber thus won the game. Plummets and sinkers (Fig. 26).—These are analogous in name, andpossibly sometimes in appearance, to the pendants just described; butan examination of the real object in the number as possessed by theMuseum shows such differences as that they can not be classed together.Taking the last numbers on Fig. 26 for first description, Nos. Ill and 11
