Description

OF THE CAVES OF CRESWELL CRAGS.
Fig. 2. — Ironstone implement, Robin Hood Cave, \,
593
entirely discarded the implements of stone and bone, relics of such
materials are not uncommonly found in graves which cannot be re-
garded as ancient. The Shoshones, though mostly provided with
tools of iron and steel of approved patterns, are still to be seen em-
ploying as a scraper in the dressing of skins a mere ' teshoa,' con-
sisting of a small worn boulder, thinner at one end, split through
the middle in such a manner as to furnish a rough cutting-edge at
one side. There seems to be a considerable advantage in this over any
form of knife or other tool which has yet reached them from without ;
and it is probable that it will be retained so long as their present
method of preparing hides is in vogue " *. Probably those of the
Robin-Hood Cave were put to the same use.
A fragment of " red raddle " from the cave- earth had probably
been used for painting.
The large number of splinters in the cave proves that it was used
by the hunters as a place of resort for a considerable time, and that
they brought the raw material along with them, and made their
cutting-tools as they were wanted, on the spot. The numerous
broken bones prove that they were in the habit of breaking bones
for the sake of the marrow, after the fashion of many savage tribes

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
