Broken spear-head of mottled green.* Fide donor GTE: Spear head broken, dark greenish mottled. It was found with 2477 and some obsidian arrow-heads at a considerable depth on Mayne Island, B.C. 1.25"x1 1/8"x3/8". This piece is remarkable in giving the appearance of having been chipped as were the implements of flint and obsidian. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Unearthed at Sinclair Inlet, Puget Sound. Ground stone 'slave killer/war club'. Broken and repaired during cleaning by donor.

Sandstone knife for cutting jade.* Fide donor GTE: Sandstone saw or knife for cutting hard boulders. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

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.

Chisel of mottled green and black.* Fide donor GTE: Chisel of a mottled green and black from Salt Spring Island off the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. One of the more narrow edges shows two cutting grooves and the broken ridge between.

Stone hammer.* Fide donor GTE: Stone hand hammer from 2 1/2 miles north of Lytton. 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.

Grindstone.* Fide donor GTE: Portion of a grindstone of a fine silicious sandstone, slightly concave face. It is very conclusively established that jade and other fine grained celts were worked down and sharpened upon these stones, which are found about old living and camping sites together with the sandstone saws and partly cut boulders, and an examination of jade and other celts shows almost invariably a corresponding convex side and cutting surface. These grindstones from their brittleness are seldom found in large slabs, but more in broken sections which are often smoothed on both flattened faces and sometimes along the edges. Slab is about 3 cm thick, roughly triangular in plan view. Center area of one side is smoother than areas near edges; other side shows signs of weathering. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
