Pendant, Shell2932

Shell carving, (classified as pendant).* Fide donor GTE: Pearl shell pendant (has every appearance of having been part of a South Sea Island fish hook) found near 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.

Flaking Tool, Bone3043

Deerhorn implement for chipping flint.* Fide donor GTE: Section of deerhorn, notched for chipping arrow points. Spear blades, arrow points, knives, drills and leaf-shaped implements were in most every instance chipped from a black basalt which was not found in the immediate vicinity of Lytton, but came from Cache Creek. The crude rock was broken off in convenient sized pieces and the chipping was done in the home villages or camping places. After the splinter or chip was broken off, they were shaped by means of short sections of deerhorn. Notches were cut in the horn at right angles to their length for the coarse work, and in the end of the horn for the finer work, and for very fine work the edge of the beaver tooth was used. Spear blades were of different sizes and shapes. Arrow points of every size and shape are found on old village sites, camping places, and graves. While worn and rude the majority show much skill in the fine chipping and artistic forms. One type in particular, which is common to Lytton and Ashcroft, is peculiar in the deep notches often on one side only, or sometimes a single notch on one side and two or three on the other side, and the present people say that these were poisoned arrows for war. The poison was retained by the hollowed out notch. Knives were often simple splinters of basalt that had a keen cutting edge. Drills were chipped and fashioned as the spear and arrow heads. Leaf-shaped, chipped implements of all sizes are found with the other chipped implements. This implement for shaping arrow points is of recent make to show the implements of the past. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
