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.

14 crossed out to l0 arrow points, stemmed, lozenge shaped.* *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Left mandible fragments and soil sample found in bag labeled "10-ID-7/B1, Cat# PV17, Left mandible frags found in scraper cache. 10-ID-7/2. 10-15-55 GLC." The mandible fragments appear to be from an artiodactyl. 07/20/1995, K. Smith. These bones were separated from the collections to verify that they were not human. Stephanie Jolivette, UW Archaeology Graduate Student, examined them on 6/22/2010 and confirmed that they were not human. Because they were separated from the collection, they were not identified at the time of the transfer to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in 2009. M. Noble 6/22/2010. This material will need to deaccessioned and transferred to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. M. Hotz 7/13/2010

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. Remarks: Vein-like grooves on smaller end. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Slate fish knife.* Fide donor GTE: Slate fish knife. Fish knives, made of a grey slate more often than black in color, and dug up on old living places and from the sand graves. They are rather longer than wide, and worked down quite thin with a keen cutting edge. I doubt if these were set in a handle as is the case of the woman's knife of the Eskimo, but they seem to have been more on the type of the shell or metal fish knife of the coast. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
