Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ...of stone celts is worthy of the careful attention of archeological students, says of them: "What is true of the uses and distribution of stone axes applies with much the same force to what are called celts--not a good descriptive term, but one which is now given to the implement in lieu of something better. It would appear difficult or impossible to do with these rude tools any work for which we commonly use an axe or hatchet; and yet, by the aid of fire, or even without it, the aborigines contrived to accomplish a great deal with them." Stone Art, 13 Ann. Rept. Bu. Am. Ethno., p. 72 He describes eight different ways employed by the Indians in hafting these implements. Professor Moorehead in "The Stone Age in North America" devotes a chapter to the consideration of the celts of the United States: "Polished stone hatchets or celts are supposed to have been made and used before man discovered that a grooved stone was more serviceable and could be securely fastened to a handle. These objects have been the subject of much study." "So much has been written with reference to the use of celts that I shall not present a lengthy paper upon them. One may dismiss them briefly by stating that their principal uses were: The lighter ones in sh, ort handles were used as weapons or tomahawks and as hand hatchets in killing game; larger ones were used for cutting down trees, splitting soft wood, chopping ice (fish-holes), and general use about the wigwam.' "The average celt is not large, although specimens have been found weighing as much as fifteen or twenty pounds. Celts five and six pounds in weight are not of rare occurrence, although they are by no means common. Abnormally large celts, axes and other cutting...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist, Vol. 17: New Series Scattered throughout a wide range of archeological literature one finds mention, in random sentence or casual paragraph, of aboriginal uses of shell or of shell objects of aboriginal workmanship. The intent of this paper has been to consolidate these isolated references into a study source of this specific phase of aboriginal culture in Wisconsin. From the very nature of shell, being destructible in character, shell relics are rarely preserved from remote periods, and it is only by reason of their inhumation with burials that they appear among antiquities at all. With reference to the age of shell relics, W. H. Holmes, in a treatise on "Art in Shell of the Ancient Americans," states that "specimens obtained from the mounds of the Mississippi valley have the appearance of great antiquity, but beyond the internal evidence of the specimens themselves we have no reliable data upon which to base an estimate of time. The age of these relics is often rendered still less certain by the presence of intrusive interments." The abundance of lakes and streams in Wisconsin, teeming with mollusks, served as a source of supply of shell for the Wisconsin aborigines. Weapons, traps or nets were not necessary in the capture of mollusks; a stone to break the shell sufficed for all purposes. So man in his most primitive condition must have resorted to mollusks for the food which they afforded. In fact, clams were so major a part of the food supply of these ancient people that many writers refer to them as the "Clam Eaters."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist, Vol. 17: December, 1918 Juneau County, in central Wisconsin, is a center in several aspects. Near the geographical center of the state it is also in the broad central valley of the Wisconsin and in that weird portion of the Driftless. Area where the castellated sandstone buttes stand like huge watch towers scattered over the flat sand plain. Its. Geologic features furnish very cogent explanation for its unusual richness in archaeological remains. Its area is within the 'broad belt of Potsdam sandstone that encircles the nucleus of crystalline rock that forms the Arch aean highlands of north Wisconsin. On the west and southwest the high plateau, the cut and jagged remnant of the old pene plain thrusts long fingers and dendritic cut tablelands out to ward the river valley while in the fresh peneplain that covers the north and east portions of the county the branches of the Wisconsin and their tributaries are cutting a new dendritic pattern in the level terrace. The erosion of hundreds, if not thousands, of feet of over lying rock beds has left some very significant traces on the present surface and had much to do with making the Indian paradise. The level sand terrace that fills the wide valley of the Wisconsin from the fringing overwash apron of the Kettle Moraine on the east to the jagged border of the old peneplain on the west marks the epoch of erosion when the Old channel of the Wisconsin was. Dammed by the drift invasion of the lat est glacial epoch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the early days of Wisconsin his tory, the Great Lakes were the highways of commerce, which found its natural outlet from central and northern Wisconsin by the way of Green Bay.
