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.

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.
