DESCRIPTION: Ceremonial stone club, prehistoric, probably several hundred years old, broken in two pieces (a:head and shaft; b:tip). Made from basalt, pecked, with an elaborate decoration on the head and a pointed tip at the base. One side of the shaft appears to be naturally flat, while the other side is rounded. At the head of the club are two concentric ridges with a groove in between which encircle the shaft. Above these ridges the shaft tapers and then widens out into a flat projection with four longitudinal raised ridges (and three grooves). The tip piece (b) appears to have a hairline crack running through it approximately 1.25-1.5" from the pointed end. CONDITION: Broken in two pieces (broken when donor was digging it up). It was previously glued, probably rubber cement, but has come unglued. There is a fresh scratch below the broken end of 'b', apparently from a shovel blow. There are also fresh scratches FIDE DONOR: Found by the donor on his farm when he was digging up his yard for an extension on his house. His shovel struck the club and broke it. Farm was located 15 miles NW of Yakima, near the foot of Mt. Clemens. The club was found 16 inches deep on a natural bench of hard packed clay type soil, near the Naches River. It was found about 25 years ago.

Stone hand hammer.* Fide donor GTE: Stone hand hammer very peculiar in shape. The head is rudely shaped to represent an animal's head. 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.

Celt of dark greenish black jade, much weathered.* Fide donor GTE: Celt of a dark greenish black color much weathered and roughened which was found with some obsidian arrow-heads of the earliest type at a considerable depth on Mayne Island, B.C. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone skin scraper.* Fide donor GTE: Stone skin scraper used in preparing skins for clothing, etc. Found on the surface of the old living place between the Fraser and the Thompson Rivers across from Lytton. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
