Important Archaeological Discovery.


fpARadtlphia Prcsf
The recent discovery OF prehistoric
copper implements on the site Of an
ancient indian village on Still Pond
creek, near Betterton, Md, will be
recognized a. an important contrlbu-
ton to American archaeology. They
furnish another link In the chain Of
evidence In support Of the belief that
even among the remote tribes there
existed n system Of intertrlbal trade.
The implements In question, two In
number, were made from plates Of m.
tive copper from the shores OF Lake
Superior, more than thousand miles
from Bettofton. The more important
object Is q bpearhcad, the other has
somewhat the shape Of an NIX, but
fancy was used m an hoe. The
spearhead IN remarkable ex-
ample Of prehistoric metal work.
IL has a double cutting edge like
poinard, which II fesembles,
ANA the ridge line dividing the two
edges IN M accurate as II wrought by u
skilled Sheffield cutter. II seems al
most Incredible that II could have been
the work Of an Indiau hundreds Of
year., perhaps, before he came In con.
tact with n white man. IL measures
eight Inches long and two and one
halt Inches ia its widest part, and the
blade Is barbed al the point. An in-
genious feature u the small shank
which l have endeavored tO figure.
On each side there nrc four small blunt
teeth like those Of comb, evidently
made TO insure greater security In
hating IL.
The spearhead looks for all the world
like those Of bronze from ancient Rome
such ~ have been excavatcd there
ut Pompei-and | venture 10 say that,
" an American counterpart were ex-
hihited with them, only M expert
could distinguish 1t from the others.
Tho lines are lust AZ graceful, and the
workmanship as fine, although we
know that the aborlgines were unac-
quainted with the art Of smelling and
hammered the metal into shape In its
natural state.
The hoe is quite u plain tool, four
and a'half inches long and four Inches
wide, and quarter OF an inch thick.
The deserted village where the i'm
plements were found has another at
traction for the archmologist In the
shape OF n vast shell mound, whose
magnitude and consequent activity
cannot fail to impress the observer.
IL takes rank at once rs one OF the larg.
est north OF Florida. One part OF Il
abuts ON Still Pond Creek, where an
excavation has been made TO a depth OF
sixteen feet without reaching the bot.
tom. The spearhead and the AK or hoe
were dug up, together with some
human bones, just beyond the line Of
shells. The whole locality IL nm Inter.
esting one and deserves careful ex.
animation, which Mr. Francis Jordon,
Jr., Of tho Philadelphia Antiquarian
society, Ia givign It.
