300 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 56A most unusual implement is a hammer with a claw at one endand a flat but extremely narrow hammer<strong>in</strong>g surface at the other.The haft open<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong> which a section of cottonwood handle is still <strong>in</strong>place, is so located that the claw end extends well above the handlebut the hammer<strong>in</strong>g surface is only a few centimeters below it (PL 9,11) .Such an implement must have been rather awkward to use. A rattailedfile, triangular <strong>in</strong> cross-section, was also recovered (PL 9,6).An end hladed knife has a commercially made, two-piece woodenhandle which is held to the proximal end of the blade by a series ofrivets (PL 9,9).Five end hladed knife blades are difficult to dist<strong>in</strong>guishfrom those that were described under the head<strong>in</strong>g of locallymanufactured goods. However, these are constructed from heaviermetal and are generally so well made as to suggest that they wereimported to the site as f<strong>in</strong>ished knives with wooden handles similarto the specimen just described. Four are long th<strong>in</strong> blades that areflat along the upper surface and then taper toward the sharp cutt<strong>in</strong>gedge (PL 9,io). The fifth is spatulate <strong>in</strong> shape and may have beenmade <strong>in</strong> the <strong>village</strong> by hammer<strong>in</strong>g out one end of a short, rectangularfragment (PL 9,3). A handle fragment of a fold<strong>in</strong>g or jack knife wasalso recovered (PL 9,2).The badly corroded, fragmentary rema<strong>in</strong>s of two large tea kettlesrepresent specimens which were round and tapered toward the rim.The spouts were separate pieces held <strong>in</strong> place by rivets. These havedisappeared and only a triangular pattern of small holes rema<strong>in</strong>s to<strong>in</strong>dicate their position. The collection of household equipment also<strong>in</strong>cludes a s<strong>in</strong>gle kettle lid which was at one time fitted with a smallwooden knob, a complete teaspoon (PL 10,9), and fragments of sixothers, a battered enameled pie t<strong>in</strong>, a scissors handle fragment(PL 10,4), two badly corroded scissors blade fragments, a small brassthimble (PL 10,6), and a,ferrule (PL 10,io) which possibly fitted oversome k<strong>in</strong>d of wooden handle, perhaps that of a broom.Gun parts <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Tikchik</strong> collection are conf<strong>in</strong>ed almost entirelyto the metal fitt<strong>in</strong>gs from what appear to be a s<strong>in</strong>gle weapon. Theseconsist of a nearly complete fl<strong>in</strong>tlock assemblage <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the lock(PL 10,1) itself, trigger mechanism, decorative sideplate (PL 10,12),trigger guard (PL 10,13), and butt plate (PL 10,2). The lock has arounded, gooseneck type hammer with re<strong>in</strong>forced pan. Stamped onthe lock plate directly <strong>in</strong> front of the hammer and below the pan isa two-l<strong>in</strong>e mark<strong>in</strong>g, the top l<strong>in</strong>e of which is illegible. The second l<strong>in</strong>econta<strong>in</strong>s the s<strong>in</strong>gle word "ARTICULA." All the gun parts describedabove were found <strong>in</strong> a position which suggests that the wooden parts
