9. Five daggers. One (Fig. 133) has portion of a bone handle surrounded by a brass ferrule, and about an inch in front of this the remains of a guard are seen at the hilt of the blade; length of handle 31⁄4 inches, and circumference of ferrule 21⁄2 inches; the portion of the blade remaining is 6 inches long and rather more than an inch broad. Another, much corroded, has fragments of a wooden handle attached to it (Fig. 134). Fig. 135 represents a short pointed dagger, the blade of which is only 41⁄2 inches long, though at the hilt it is 13⁄4 inch broad. The others are mere portions of the blades, one of which is drawn at Fig. 136.
10. A large ring. It is 31⁄2 inches in diameter, and has a small portion of wood attached to one side (Fig. 137).
11. A saw, in three pieces, two of which were joined when found, and the third was lying a few feet apart. The length of the three portions together is 38 inches; average breadth is about 3 inches; teeth perfectly distinct and set. A small hole is seen at the end of one of the fragments. This relic was found at east side, external to the circle of stockades surrounding the log pavement (Fig. 43).
