Extract

Perhaps the most successful manner of presenting a description of artifacts without undue misinterpretation of original purposes of the objects is first to give a purely physical and processual description. This will be the plan followed here. The artifacts will first be classified as to technique of manufacture and secondly as to form. A comparative archaeological and ethnological section will follow the discussion of each artifact category in an endeavour to place it in time and space and to discover, as well, the uses to which it was put through a comparison with ethnological materials.
