Description

Small mortar of volcanic lava. Klickitat County. Wn.* Part of accn 40/266 which states "24 paint cups grave finds in Celilo Island in 1897 & 1899." However, there are 24 objects labelled as "cup" accounted for, this object a "mortar", makes 25. Besides the difference in the label, the ledger does not state "Celilo Island" like the 24 cups. Therefore it is not clear if this is UGG. All 25 objects in Accn:40/266 are from Klickitat County.** *Information is from the original accession ledger. **Information is from the accession file. Round vesicular basalt river cobble with conical depression (2.5 cm deep) in one side. Ledger states that the original number was #266, but that it is merely from Klicktat County, not from Celilo Island. Not marked as UGG. (6/95)
