Elk antler wedge.* These four (?) [only 3 in ledger-2831-2833] were dug up in a sand hill across the Thompson River from Lytton, B.C. Sections of elk and deer antler, cut diagonally to give rather long but sufficiently strong cutting blades, were used for splitting logs for house building and general wood working. They are generally made from the base of the horn and the head generally shows much wear where it has been struck by the stone hand hammer. Those found buried on old village sites differ in no wise from others of a much later period found in the possession of the present races.** *Information is from the original accession ledger. **Fide donor GTE
