Note on Stone Celts, From Chiriqui.

Summary

This article describes the five stone "celts" that were submitted to Charles Blake in 1860 from the collections of antiquarian objects from Chiriqui. These objects were obtained from the graves in the area. These "celts' exhibit what the author calls a "well-known" scalpriform sharpening. Four of the celts are composed of "porphyritic" stone and the fifth celt is made of "indurated" clay.
