Some of these rough celts are a broad ellipse. The only earthwork in Wayne county furnished a rude one of dark crystalline stone, nine and one eighth inches long. Numberless examples might be given.

They are widely distributed, and are of a comparatively early date, in New York at least, not having been used by the Iroquois, who preferred awls of horn or 60 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM bone.... Some are found in Great Britain, but of simple forms and rude workmanship. Dr Abbott well said of these, and some other things, ' It is certain that the majority of our specimens, such as scrapers, drilling stones, etc. , are manufactured with greater ele- gance, and evince a more thorough knowledge of the chipping art. The English specimens appear to be all flakes, which have had the edges chipped, that the required shape might be given to the speci- men. ' Ours are usually worked over the entire surface, but not in- variably, for we have specimens as rude as any in England.
