Grey.

Grey; cortex present, thick.

Bear's tooth used as charm.* One bear's tooth (5638/203) returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995. These materials were originally sent to Grant County PUD for future exchange (see Borrower's Agreement - 1966), but the exchange papers were never drawn up. Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Perforated bear's tooth, labelled as "amulet" "charm" or "pendant." (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Black obsidian side-notched point with a flat base and a broken tip. M. Christopher 10/26/98.

Copper ornament (tube shaped).* Fide donor GTE: Copper tube used as an ornament. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Gray with some cortex.

Triangular. Grey.

Slate fish knife.* Fide donor GTE: Slate fish knife. Fish knives, made of a grey slate more often than black in color, and dug up on old living places and from the sand graves. They are rather longer than wide, and worked down quite thin with a keen cutting edge. I doubt if these were set in a handle as is the case of the woman's knife of the Eskimo, but they seem to have been more on the type of the shell or metal fish knife of the coast. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
