Ohio archæological and historical quarterly . d later. 14 Implements of meteoric iron were found in this mound by W. Putnam. Peabody Museum Report, Vol. 3. 154 Ohio Arch, and Hist. Society Publications. and the set having been prepared before hand by cutting a creaseinto the wood so that a cord could be passed from one hole to theother in order that the ornament could be attached. Associated with the small hemispheres covered with ironwere a few tubular beads from one-half to three-quarters of aninch in length. With one of the burials was found a smallornament made of thin copper representing aleaf shaped arrow point, being one and five-eighths inches in length, one and one-eighthinches in width at the widest part. It is veryfinely wrought, the edges being perfectly smoothand the convex top nicely rounded. No holesare found for its attachment or suspension, but asthe surface is greatly corroded perhaps the holeshave been entirely filled. This specimen is the only one of thekind found in the mound, and is shown in Fig. Fig. 2b — showsthe manner inwhich the cop-p e r settingsWere attached.(Two- thirdssize.) IMPLEMENTS OF COPPER. The implements made of copper were not numerous in thismound. Most of the copper employed in this section seems tohave been used for making ornaments, yet fourcopper axes and one copper needle were foundwith the burials.

This specimen is shownin Fig. 28. The axes for the most part are small, andall are practically one type and made from massesof native copper by hammering into form. Thesurfaces of the axes are very much corroded,but they plainly show the irregularities in the surface so char-acteristic of ...the specimens found in the Scioto Valley. Severalof the axes sliow the remains of a woven fabric plainly imprintedupon their face, and th
