Grey quartzite cobble; flat, rounded, semicircular in plan view. Roughly thirty percent of perimeter consists of a bifacially flaked area. Small, round pitted area indicates possible use as an anvil stone as well (battered areas less weathered than rest of surface.)
Green cobble with white inclusions. Cobble has battering on two surfaces. Edges are round and uniform with one side steeply flaked.
Surface Depth: 11.3' Brown wood and small amounts of charcoal with dust.
White and grey trinagular cobble with round uniform edges. Flaiing along the short base.
Dark grey chopper, flake removed from opposite end, battering around edges, scratches on bothe sides.
Grey, rounded, ovate cobble. Tapered ends are pitted. Large flake has broken from one surface.
Cobble is bifacially flaked along the widest dimension. Remaining perimeter is round and uniform in shpae. Slightly convex on one side, concave on the other.
Flaked stone scrapers or scaling knives. Locality: North side Columbia R., Wash. opposite Umatilla, OR. Remarks: traded to CMNH.* According the Accession Record eighteen (18) scrapers were accessioned. Only fifteen (15) have been located. Perhaps it is the three missing ones that were traded to CMNH. Of the fifteen (15) chipped stone tools (scrapers) found in Burke collections, eleven of these were numbered 9071/1-8, 9071/10, 9071/11, and 9071/13. The numbers have worn off of four; we have assigned these four tools 9071/9, 9071/12, 9071/14, and 9071/15. We have assigned the three missing ones the numbers 9071/16, 9071/17, and 9071/18, although if they are found in our collections they may only have the number 9071 on them (these newly assigned numbers should be written on the artifacts if they are found). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
