Real chisels are also found, destined, no doubt, to the same use with those of our own joiners, but with the difference that, instead of a shank, they are provided with a socket, like the hatchets of the third type. We possess a very complete one, derived from the station of Auvernier, which measures ten centi-' metres, (Fig. 46.) There occurs also in the collec- tion of M. Schwab, at Bienne, a kind of hammer with six faces, having a length of six centimetres by a diameter of four. This instrument likewise has a socket, (Fig. 47.) It remains, lastly, to mention the fish-hooks of bronze which are found at many of our stations. All are barbed, and though usually small, like those now used with a line, there are larger and stronger ones for the capture of heavy fish. We pos- sess one from Gauderon, which measures not less than twelve centimetres iu length. Figure 46.
