I'VE found pine trees six feet In d.
ameter growing on the ancient rock
dumps There is an area two miles
long and half mile wide, over the
whole Of which we found remains OF
human habitations.
There were larger pits which had
been dug for homes. They ranged
from eight to ten feet deep and we're
protected by carefully built stone
walls which kept them free from wa
ter. The people incidentally used com
munal dwellings in some instances as
several Of the pits were 20 by 40 feet,
and one. which may have been a fort,
was 20 by 80 feet.
These people mined In solid rock
the whole island over, but did not dig
their shafts more than 20 or 80 feet
deep. Their tools were black egg
shaped stones Of great hardness, such
as are found on the north shore Of
Lake Superior but not on Isle Royale."
