From: The Beothuks or Red Indians, by James P, Howley, 1915

Beothuck Implements found on Long Island, Placentia Bay.

About the year 1875 (?) a Mr Samuel Coffin cleared a small piece of
ground at a place called Spencer's Cove at the northern end of Long
Island, Placentia Bay. This place was uninhabited at that time, but had
been frequently visited by the fishermen to procure firewood. Mr Coffin
in clearing the soil came across a number of Indian implements and other
relics of the Beothucks. The late Alex. Murray, C.M.G., F.G.S., the then
Director of the Geological Survey of this island, who evinced a great
interest in the subject of the Red Indians, despatched Mr Albert Bradshaw
of Placentia to examine and report upon the find. The following is Mr
Bradshaw's report.
ST. JOHN'S, July 15^th, 1876.
Alexander Murray Esqr. F.G.S.

Sir,

In accordance with your request, and the instructions contained in a letter
bearing date - ? to visit and examine Spencer's Cove on the North east end of
Long Island, I beg to state that I have complied with the request, and submit to
you the following report, as the result of my investigation.

1^st. The specimens obtained by me, were found at the height of five feet above
high water mark, in a deposit of black clay formed from the debris of the camps
of the Indians. There are from eight to twelve inches of this deposit resting upon
a bed of brown clay and pebbles.

2^nd. Above the deposit in which, the specimens were found, there are from
twelve to fifteen inches of peat, formed from decomposed wood, and other vegetable
matter. Immediately under this, and resting on the aforementioned deposit there
is a layer of red slate. Although there were found a few of the arrow heads etc.
above the slate, the principal quantity was discovered beneath it.

I have not met with any trace of iron or iron rust, in any part of the ground.
The iron axe found by Mr Coffin on the clearing is of more recent date and has
evidently been lost by some person engaged in cutting timber.

I have not met with any shells or organic remains in or below the superficial
deposit; nor have I in any case met with charcoal except the burnt wood about
the site of their fireplaces.

I do not think it probable that iron in any of its uses had been known to the
tribe of Indians who inhabited the Island at that period, for had it been used by

Mr. Bradshaw's Report 327

them, it would be impossible from the quantity of land now under cultivation there,
not to have met with some trace of it. I found the remains of a pot formed of
stone, which goes far to prove that they employed stone for all the uses, for which
more recently, iron has been substituted.

Some fifty or sixty years ago this place was covered with a heavy growth of
timber, and judging from traces not yet totally destroyed, I was enabled to ascer-
tain that the growth was of a large size, as many of the stumps measured from
fifteen to eighteen inches through.

I found very few traces of bones, and even those were very much decomposed,
and I am led to conjecture from the position of them, that they were the bones
of inferior animals, being above the deposit of black clay and immediately beneath
the peat formation.

I am not of opinion that the place was at all used as a burying ground, as
if such were the case, I should have met with traces of bones beneath the surface.
The place has evidently been only used as a summer resort and a sort of
factory for making and repairing tools and implements of warfare, as the traces
amply testify, there being a large quantity of shavings and chips of stone which
plainly shows that the manufacturing of tools has been extensively carried on here.

Mr Coffin, in turning up the soil previous to cultivation has met with numerous
spear and arrow heads, gouges and stone axes, grinding or rubbing stones, all of
which appear to have some defect, none being entirely perfect. Showing that when
they left the place they took everything that might be of any service to them, and
leaving only those that were of little or no importance. This in my opinion is
proof positive that they left the island for some reason, with the intention of not
returning to it again.

It is worthy of mention that the remains of the pot above referred to was
found to be composed of steatite and is an importation, as there is no serpentine
to be met within the neighborhood of Placentia Bay.
(signed) ALBERT BRADSHAW.

Similar stone implement factories to that described by Mr Bradshaw,
occur at several other points on the coast as well as .in the interior. Of
this character are several of those mentioned in Lloyd's paper, notably
those at the Beaches Bonavista Bay, at Conche, N.E. coast, at Cow
Head west coast, and at Grand and Sandy lakes in the interior. At each
of the above localities numerous flakes and fragments of chert and other
material are scattered around, together with incomplete or spoiled tools,
and pieces of the rock from which they were made. This latter consists
usually of black chert, pale bluish hornstone (a variety of flint), smoky
and other varieties of quartz or quartzite. It is from such material most
of the arrow and spear heads, also the scrapers are made. Many of the
larger tools, such as the gouges, chisels, or "celts,'' fleshers, etc., are
made of a hard altered slate, called feldsite slate, characteristic of some of
the older geologic periods in this island. Most of these materials were
found in the near vicinity of those workshops, which was no doubt the
reason of their being so situated. In the same way, the soapstone or
steatite pot factories were located in localities where cliffs of that material
exist. At a place on the N. E. coast called Fleur de Lis, where a cliff
of this material occurs, numerous fragments of half finished or spoiled pots
and other vessel's have been met with, and in the cliff itself, are plainly
to be seen the outlines of similar vessels in process of being manufactured
