Stone skin dresser or scraper.* Fide donor GTE: Stone skin dresser. Skin scrapers are found in great abundance about old camps and former living places. They are of various sizes and material. They were of the chipped basalt used for arrow and spear blades; chipped to convenient shape, or of sections of quartzite pebbles split along one face and chipped as required. Some of these were used as hand implements for scraping or softening the skin of the animals of the country, for articles of clothing, while others likewise used were set in the split end of short wood handles and lashed securely by means of hide, root or sinew. They are still used. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone pestle (possibly war club). Remarks: Might possibly be used as war club.* Probably a salmon packing pestle (L.Phillips, 7/6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone mortar with carved bear heads.* Round with depression in one side. Three carved heads on rim. Traces of red and yellow paint on body. (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Broken celt of greenish gray jade.* Fide donor GTE: Celt, broken, greenish gray in color, has the appearance of having been burnt. From Mayne Island, B.C. Both of the more narrow sides show two cutting grooves with sharp ridges between. 2.5"x1 7/8"x 7/8". *Information is from the original accession ledger.

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.

White chert Clovis point, tip chipped. Found by Floyd Fulle circa 1970 at Cle Elum Lake, on the beach at the south end of the lake, near the dam.

DESCRIPTION: Large flat slab of volcanic rock, with a hole cut through it. It may have been a net weight, but appears to have a worn side from grinding tools on. The top surface appears purposefully incised with parallel geometric lines and triangles. The surface also looks worn and pitted as if from being struck by something. NOTE: This had part of an old tag on it, identical to the tags on artifacts loan by Wickersham to the Ferry Museum, and MAY be part of the Wickersham collection, at one time loaned to the Ferry Museum [Washington State Historical Society] and later sold at The Nugget Shop in Juneau, AK. The description for item #53 on the inventory list of Wickersham material loaned to the Ferry Museum reads: "Grindstone from Mud Bay, Wash, Old Inlet, about 8 x 9 x 2." [This probably refers to Mud Bay, Eld Inlet, to the west of Olympia.] The dimensions match this specimen, and it has surfaces on it which have been used for smoothing/sharpening.

Pumice stone carving of human figure.* Vesicular basalt, grooved to create a human effigy. Whole figure, with distinct head, shoulders, & arms (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Jade boulder cut in grooves and faces.* Fide donor GTE: Smaller jade boulder from which a section had been sawed off for a chisel. Boulders large and small of jade serpentine and other hard fine grained, tough material, generally greenish in color, are found upon old village sites and camping grounds, grooved on one or both surfaces, cut in two, or cut in a number of faces, with grooves between, and thin broken ridges. These latter indicate where sections were sawed off with the coarse silicious sandstone saws or knives in order to obtain suitable pieces for chisels, celts and adzes. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Hand hammer with flared distal end and tapered handle. Top of handle (proximal end) has been broken off. Distal end is chipped in three places and shows evidence of pecking. Found by Mr. Gray when excavating waterfront property at Indianola, WA (Kitsap County), several lots west of main dock.
