298 FIELDIANA: ANTHROLPOLOGY, VOLUME 561.5 cm. <strong>in</strong> diameter, directly <strong>in</strong> the middle (PI. 8,12). An <strong>in</strong>formantsuggested that cans of this type may orig<strong>in</strong>ally have held gun powder.As previously mentioned, worked can fragments were found extensivelythroughout the site <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g the importance of this materialfor secondary work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to artifacts of various types. Most ofthese were badly corroded and too fragmentary to <strong>in</strong>dicate the size,shape, or method of manufacture of the cans.The badly corroded, fragmentary rema<strong>in</strong>s of two buckets or pailswere recovered, both of which were round with slightly flar<strong>in</strong>g sidesand loop handles. Although they appear to be of vastly differentsizes, it is impossible to determ<strong>in</strong>e the actual dimensions of eitherof them.There are six fragments of cast iron kettles, only two of which giveany <strong>in</strong>dication of the shape of the vessel. The largest of these representsa basal section of what must have been a round, squat kettleslightly <strong>in</strong>verted toward the rim and sitt<strong>in</strong>g on three short legs; oneof the legs is present on the recovered fragment. Another fragmentis from the rim of a more straight-sided vessel with a pronounced,slightly everted lip (PI. 9,5). Also recovered were two segments of abrass kettle, but the shape of this vessel cannot be determ<strong>in</strong>ed.A relatively heavy, iron handle is virtually square <strong>in</strong> cross-sectionand may have been used with a small kettle of the same material(PI. 8,11).Four well-made plan<strong>in</strong>g adze blades have been constructed fromrectangular iron bars. Three are flat across the proximal end (PI. 9,8),while one shows signs of hav<strong>in</strong>g been roughly rounded by means ofblows from a hammer (PL 9,7).A s<strong>in</strong>gle chisel blade is long, th<strong>in</strong>, and has a narrow groove runn<strong>in</strong>gabout three-quarters of its length which widens toward the distalend to form a convex work<strong>in</strong>g edge (PI. 9,12). Such a blade was <strong>in</strong>tendedfor <strong>in</strong>sertion <strong>in</strong>to an antler or wooden handle.There is one s<strong>in</strong>gle-bitted axe head with a fragment of cottonwoodhandle still <strong>in</strong> place. It is made of iron and has all the earmarks ofhav<strong>in</strong>g been hand forged. The work<strong>in</strong>g edge is so blunt as to suggestthat the implement could not have been serv<strong>in</strong>g the purpose for whichit was <strong>in</strong>tended at the time it was lost or abandoned. S<strong>in</strong>ce the proximalsurface is badly battered, the implement may have been usedas a wedge. An exam<strong>in</strong>ation of both sides of the haft open<strong>in</strong>g revealsnarrow l<strong>in</strong>es that suggest the metal <strong>in</strong>itially was <strong>in</strong> two pieces whichwere forged together (PI. 9,4).
