Grindstone.* Fide donor GTE: Portion of a grindstone of a fine silicious sandstone, slightly concave face. It is very conclusively established that jade and other fine grained celts were worked down and sharpened upon these stones, which are found about old living and camping sites together with the sandstone saws and partly cut boulders, and an examination of jade and other celts shows almost invariably a corresponding convex side and cutting surface. These grindstones from their brittleness are seldom found in large slabs, but more in broken sections which are often smoothed on both flattened faces and sometimes along the edges. Slab is about 3 cm thick, roughly triangular in plan view. Center area of one side is smoother than areas near edges; other side shows signs of weathering. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone hammer.* Fide donor GTE: Stone hand hammer. The most common stone implement found about Lytton, either dug up on old village sites or preserved by the present generation, is the hand hammer or pestle. It is made from a variety of fine-grained rocks, generally of convenient size and shaped boulders that require the least amount of labor to bring them to the required shape. Such pieces are pecked into shape, having a heavy base sometimes deep, the sides meeting the bottom at right angles, and again greatly expanded. The body of the hammer where it is grasped by the hand is generally smaller than the expanded head which is variously shaped with a conoidal knot or contracted to a long conical point. Although the rudest specimens taper gradually from the base to the rounded head. The rudest specimens are simply pecked into shape, while the finer ones, after shaping, are beautifully ground or smoothed. In several instances among those here described, the heads are given the forms of animal heads. These hand hammers were used for a variety of purposes and the worn surfaces readily indicate their use. Those used as hand mashers for crushing roots, nuts, berries, etc. show smooth flattened or slightly convex bases, while those used as hammers for driving wedges, stakes, etc., show a well worn concave base and offer flattened and worn sides of the base. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Unmodified elongate, smooth river pebble. Two wooden splints are attached along the long axis by cedar bark bindings. Illustrated in Munsell 1976. P. 121, Plate XII. The catalog number was assigned according to the archaeological site number. This net weight was treated with polythylene glycol in the manner described by Seborg (1962). Soil matrix was removed via a fine spray of water. Specimens were then soaked in ethanol for 2 days to reduce trapped water. After removal from the ethanol bath, specimens were soaked in a 2:1 aqueous solution of 1,000 molecular weight polyethylene glycol for 2 to 4 days. After this treatment, specimens were placed on wire racks to dry for approximately two weeks. Four years later, the specimens had dried out and were treated again. The treatment has stained and darkened this specimen. Placed on exhibit "Reaching Home" featuring salmon photographs by Natalie Fobes, July, 11, 1995. Returned to Archaeology Lab, February 6, 1996.

Leaf shaped arrow heads (plain). Remarks: 4 traded for acc. 3822; 6 traded to CMNH. Number of specimens in upper left corner was recorded by Frank Barnett who checked the material in 1929 while working at the museum as a volunteer.* 5/7/1990, five points located. 5-30-91 one point returned from Marymoor Museum (not known how many were originally loaned). 7 Points loaned to Public Utility District No. 1, Chelan County, Rocky Reach Dam and cannot be located. NOTE: determined to be lost while on loan- R. Andrews 9/18/1995. NOTE: 2 Points were exchanged to Grant County PUD, 6/5/1970. See accn file. (9/22/1993, DH) Four points (5705/53, 5705/4, 5705/8?, 5705/243) 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). Previous counts indicate a total of 396 tools, of which 142 were located and examined. There currently are 114 lanceolate chert points, 8 triangular chert points, 3 triangular concave chert points, one stemmed chert point, 1 contracting base chert point, four serrated lanceolate chert points, one Plateau Pentagonal (chert) knife, 8 chert chipped stone tools, one obsidian lanceolate point and one petrified owood lanceolate point in the remaining collection. (6/95). NOTE: 7 points were loaned to Washington State Parks. 5 were returned and 2 were determined to be lost while on loan. R.Andrews 9/15/1995. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Small triangular arrow heads. 2 traded to CMNH. ONLY 1 POINT LOCATED.* Point loaned to Public Utility District No. 1, Rocky Reach Dam and cannot be located. NOTE: determined to be lost while on loan- R. Andrews 9/18/1995. Previous counts indicate that there were 77 tools, of which only one remains. This piece is a side-notched chert point. Found near Goldendale. (6/95) *Information is from the original accession ledger.

KMB 10/10/1986: only 2 points located. 30 (crossed out to 25) medium leaf-shaped blades of stone.* TAR 5/3/1993: On this date 24 points with this number were found and stored bringing the total number of objects to 26. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Circular stone ornament.* Fide donor GTE: Stone ornament, ring shaped, dug up at Lytton. Numerous small ornaments of stone, some rudely carved, others simply shaped, with a hole through one end, of elk, bear and other teeth, of bits of copper, are found more particularly in graves. These were probably used as pendants or attached to articles of dress. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone skin dresser or scraper.* Fide donor GTE: Stone skin dresser. Skin scrapers are found in great abundance about old camps and former living places. They are of various sizes and material. They were of the chipped basalt used for arrow and spear blades; chipped to convenient shape, or of sections of quartzite pebbles split along one face and chipped as required. Some of these were used as hand implements for scraping or softening the skin of the animals of the country, for articles of clothing, while others likewise used were set in the split end of short wood handles and lashed securely by means of hide, root or sinew. They are still used. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
