Hammerstone2968

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.

Pipe, Modified Stone2860

Stone pipe.* Fide donor GTE: Stone pipe, greenish black stone from Lytton. Pipes are in general use. The oldest type was evidently tubular, but those of a later period, and those used today, are of the ordinary type of bowl and stem. They are made of a steatite or some transparent soapstone, which in some the fire can be seen through the wall of the bowl. The stem is often ornamented with lead inlaid which in some cases is used to strengthen the stem as the material is brittle. A plain hollow wood stem is used. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Chipped Stone Tool5703

Triangular, straight base arrow heads. Remarks: 5 traded CMNH. Number of specimens in upper left corner was recorded by Frank Barnett, who checked the material in 1939, working at the museum as a volunteer.* NOTE: 4 Points were exhcanged to Grant County PUD, 6/5/1970. See accn file. (9/322/1993, DH) Four points (5703/243, 5703/253, 5703/257, 5703/52) 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 show 220 tools, of which 65 were located and examined. Most were chert: 14 unstemmed (triangular) points, 5 Plateau pentagonal knives, 29 concave based points, 7 concave (mule ear knives), 6 lanceolate points, all of chert. There were four petrified wood pieces -- one mule-ear knive and three lanceolate points. (6/95) Three trianglular arrow heads from this collection were returned to the museum from the U.W. Anthroplogy Department. (L. Phillips, January 23, 1997). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
