Gorgets. These are of many kinds as to their form and also the stone from which they are made. Circular, oval, cylindrical, tubular, and elongate flattened forms occur. The last-named are often nearly rectangular, flat, polished pieces of stone, perforated by one, two, or three holes. These are sometimes known as banner-stones. The smaller ones may have been used as ornaments in the head-dress, a cord of the hair of the head being fastened through one of the perforations, and feathers inserted in the others. The banner-stone with a single central perforation is somewhat rare, those with two or three perforations being more numerous. Banner-stones of reddish hematitic slate have recently been found here; but striped Huronian slate from the rocks of northern Ontario is the usual material from which they have been fashioned. Amulets, charms, or ceremonial stones. These are bird-like or animal-like in shape, or rather they have the form of some imaginary animal partly avian and partly mammalian. There are holes bored diagonally through portions of the lower side, apparently for suspension of these stones by strings. Amulets are usually three or four inches long. Most of them are regularly formed and beautifully polished. The material is Huronian slate. But one recently obtained by the writer is of limestone, and has a length of nineteen inches, a height of six inches, and a thickness of five inches. The holes are large and extend from side to side in the upper part of what represents the neck and back of the bird. Copper artifacts are not uncommon in Ontario and some other eastern localities, although they are not at all plentiful. The material is native copper from Michigan in the vicinity of Lake Superior. Occasionally native silver occurs in spots throughout the article. Well-formed celts or axes, and spears are found. Knives and beads also occur. The copper celt often has a flat side and a sloping raised side, the latter consisting of two flat faces sloping laterally from a central longitudinal elevation. Both sides of the spear slope toward the edge in a similar manner; there is a tang for insertion into a wooden or other handle, and there are usually two lateral projections at the base of the blade. The beads are of two kinds, namely, small, circular beads rudely fashioned, yet in shape somewhat like the ordinary modern beads of white people; and the long, thin leaf of copper loosely rolled, to constitute a small tube through which the string had to pass. Pottery or earthenware objects. The pottery of this region is greatly broken. It consists principally of sherds or fragments of vessels of different sizes and designs. There are, however, a few perfect vessels of pottery, and there are many unbroken pottery tobacco-pipes here. The forms of the pipes and their decorative designs are numerous. Some of these are shown in Fig. 434, Toronto University collection.
