Chipped slate, tapers to (broken) point. According to accession data, this artifact was recovered from the Allyn IV site by Mr. Buding who lived on the property. Mr. Buding apparently donated this artifact to the Burke Musuem just after John Winterhouse surveyed the site. A description of the Allyn area can be found in, "A Report on An Archaeological Survey on Lower Puget Sound" by John Winterhouse, Jr., 1948 (See Burke Archives or UW Manuscripts and Archives Division). However, the Allyn IV site is not mentioned in his report. LSP, 1/23/96. From Ledger: Artifact, stone (shale) Collected By Fred Buding, received by John Winterhouse.

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.

Biconical hole in one end, other tapers to a tip and has parallel incisced lines parallel to "B" axis, and two lines running diagonal to the first two lines.
