Description:Excerpt from An Ancient Quarry in Indian TerritoryIn many places evidences of manufacture have been observed, but usually the sites are nothing more than small shops where individual implements have been shaped or small masses have been worked up. It is apparent to the student of ?aked stone toels that these limited sheps could not have furnished the multitudes of fine Specimens dis tributed over every part of the valley, and that the existence of great quarries must in time be discovered. These quarry sites, if such there are, may be so hidden away in wild and rugged regions and so obscured by forests that the attention of white settlers has never been called to them. An important quarry site, considerably beyond the limits of the province referred to, being nearly 300 miles southwest of St. Louis. Has recently come into notice. It is hardly to be supposed that the ?int supply of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys could in any large part have been derived from. This source, for the task of transporta tion would have taxed even the marvelous patience and endurance of our aboriginal workers in stone. The material produced on this site, however, corresponds very closely with that used in the St. Louis region, and a study of the refuse of the quarry shops demonstrates the fact that the classes of tools made are identical in manyin stances with those found so plentifully in that region.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
