year wait, quite an occasion.
The field was in perfect shape.
Stones, and cracked ones at that
lay everywhere, mute but conclu-
sive proof of Indian handling.
When one sees stones in a river
bottom field, it is safe to say that
these stone were carried there
in this case the red man carried
them there. There was pure,
white quartz from Brookeville,
quartzite from Piney Branch,
steatite from Brighton; jasper and
black quartz from the Carolinas;
obsidian from New Mexico. The
nomadic Indian had carried these
stones, in large cobbles, with
him.
This was his working stock.
Without it there would have been
no weapons or tools. There was
serpentine for his grooved axe
and celt soapstone for his dishes
and ceremonial stones, hard,
granite-like slate for his pendants
and gorgets, ryolite for his arrow
and spear points. Chips (flakes)
lay almost as thick as shavings
in a lumber mill.
And so began my trek. Up
and down the field. And back

covered the entire village area.
Indian relics lay everywhere. II

Secota is truly an intriguing
spot - much more so than some
of the smaller Indian villages 1

with the other fierce tribes of
this area, the Mohawks, Oneidas,

the belief that little or no war

peaceful Piscataways.
