Arrowheads Once
Toys Now
Museum Pieces
Arrow heads, which boys played
with for toys not many years ago.
aro now known to reveal that
stone age lite existed in a part of
Ontario not so far from Huron
county. Forty to a hundred reni-
turies are believed to have elan -
sed ainee the stone weapons were
dome by luau,
A half hour was spent one
day last week at Sheguindah,
Manitoulin Island, w h e r e a
party of museum workers is do-
ing, research work. Stone arrow
,-reads and spear heads were
discovered there a few years
ago by scientists. The area com-
prises more than a hundred
arises and the public is not al-
lowed to enter the premises,
herause tourists were carrying
away specimens.
Halt' a dozen tents stood at
the headquarters of the patty
near the docks, An 18 -year-old
high school student from Ottawa
s, as the only person around at
,he time. He claimed the rest of
the party were working back in
the hills, anddo one was permit-
ted to disturb them.
This is the last summer work
will be done at ,Sheguindah, he
said. No more specimens are be-
ing found, and this year activi-
ties have been mostly digging
test boles to try to determine
stow many centuries have elapsed
ince the area was used as a
Place where weapons were fash-
ioned from the quartz rock by
a rare of people of which there
is now no knowledge.
Digging was this student's
job. He showed a samplehole
near the tents, four feet square
and about as deep. Bigger
$tones lay on one side of the
opening, smaller stones on an-
other, pebbles on the third, and
sand and clay on the fourth
side. As digging progresses each
shovelful is carefully sorted.
"The boss decides where we
dig", he said.
These old stole arrowheads,
he explained, are believed to be
somewhere between 4.000 and
10,000 years old. Dozens of ex-
perts have visited the site. The
difficulty is that so far the sci-
entists cannot agree. Each has
his own theory.
The acid of the rock has long
;since destroyed any wood or
other organic material which
could be used to determine time
by modern electronic methods.
Nothing has remained down
through the ages but the stone
tips for weapons.
All relics have been taken to
the National Museum at Ot-
tawa. There is now a $1000 fine
for removing anything, this
young •man with an Irish•• name
and a charming French accent,
said. The site will be kept un-
der police observation after
s ork ceases,
In previous years there had
been as many as 25 or 30 work-
ers, but this year there are
only a dozen. Lack of funds has
curtailed the work, he said.
Boyhood visitors to pretty
Sheguindah had n1 a n y times
played among these rock hills
which have now fallen prey to
that sign "No Trespassing",
which seems to be so much a
part of modern progress.
In those clays the finding of
Indian arrowheads caused no
.more than a passing interest.
Probably most of the village
boys possessed them. No one
guessed then that these things
were relics of the Stone Age,
and not just Indian cvaftwork
from the days before the white
man calve.
- It is unfortunate that all find-
ings like this are taken away
to museums in distant cities. It
would give pleasure to local citi-
sons and tourists if small mu-
seums could be established to
display a few items near the
spot where they were found.
