[224] Willoughby, p. 198, describes a group of seeds “resembling those of the _Cornus_” with the ends ground off preparatory to stringing. These were found archaeologically, associated with European trade beads. MOURT’S RELATION, p. 194, describes Massasoit as wearing a “great chain of white bone beads about his neck”. [225] Verrazano’s narrative in Howe, p. 15. It is possible that glass trade beads were not very popular among the Wampanoags in the early 17th century. There are 16th century accounts of glass beads given to the Indians by explorers, and glass beads dating to the early 16th century have been in graves in this area, but glass beads are not mentioned as a part of Indian dress by writers of the early colonial period.

[230] Gookin, p. 153; Verrazano in Howe, pp. 15, 59; MOURT’S RELATION, p. 194, mentions painted faces “with crosses, and some other antic works....” This could be actual painting in patterns or a mistaking of tattoos for paint.

[241] Ibid.; Champlain, p. 90; Gookin, p. 153; Lechford, p. 116; Wood, pp. 71-72, gives a description of hairstyles for the Massachusetts. For a youth above sixteen there was a long lock in front, on the crown, and on either side. The rest of the hair was shaved off close to the scalp. A warrior wore his hair long on one side and short on the other. [242] Gookin, p. 153. [243] Ibid.; Pring in Howe, p. 72; Lechford, p. 116.
