A Birdstone Fragment from New York City
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Extract
A few weeks prior to the bulldozing of a segment of the Schurz site (Lopez 1955), in the southeast corner of the Bronx, within the city limits of New York, a salvage dig was conducted by Harry Trowbridge, George Younkheere, Stanley Wisniewski, Theodore Kazimiroff, and Wayne Arnold under the writer's direction.
One of the items found was a polished birdstone frag’ ment (Fig. 1) which deserves special mention since so few effigies of this sort have been discovered hereabouts.
