JADE

of today, possessed with every modern
appliance.

Lesser Implements ——The smaller articles
of jade, such as harpoon, spear, and arrow
blades and barbs (pl. xxm), are noteworthy
products of native patience and art, es-
pecially when it is remembered that they
were fashioned with primitive tools before
the introduction of iron or steel. Three
remarkable spoon-shape objects, one of
which is shown in pl. xxm, were dug up
on a prehistoric living-site on the coast of
Bering sea, near Cape Prince of Wales,
Alaska. Their use is unknown, and the
natives could give no information regarding
them.
