Salmon gaff hook.* Fide donor GTE: Salmon gaff of iron fitted on a hollow cone and covered with spruce gum. In use it was fitted (hand tight) over the pointed end of a long sapling shaft and secured to it a short distance from the end by means of the attached cord. *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.

Deerhorn implement for chipping flint.* Fide donor GTE: Section of deerhorn, notched for chipping arrow points. Spear blades, arrow points, knives, drills and leaf-shaped implements were in most every instance chipped from a black basalt which was not found in the immediate vicinity of Lytton, but came from Cache Creek. The crude rock was broken off in convenient sized pieces and the chipping was done in the home villages or camping places. After the splinter or chip was broken off, they were shaped by means of short sections of deerhorn. Notches were cut in the horn at right angles to their length for the coarse work, and in the end of the horn for the finer work, and for very fine work the edge of the beaver tooth was used. Spear blades were of different sizes and shapes. Arrow points of every size and shape are found on old village sites, camping places, and graves. While worn and rude the majority show much skill in the fine chipping and artistic forms. One type in particular, which is common to Lytton and Ashcroft, is peculiar in the deep notches often on one side only, or sometimes a single notch on one side and two or three on the other side, and the present people say that these were poisoned arrows for war. The poison was retained by the hollowed out notch. Knives were often simple splinters of basalt that had a keen cutting edge. Drills were chipped and fashioned as the spear and arrow heads. Leaf-shaped, chipped implements of all sizes are found with the other chipped implements. This implement for shaping arrow points is of recent make to show the implements of the past. *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.

Bone point for fish spear.* Fide donor GTE: Bone point for primitive fish spear. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Portion of a stone pipe.* Fide donor GTE: Portion (stem) of tubular stone pipe ornamentally cut. Dug up across Fraser near 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.

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.

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.

Elk-horn digger handle.* Fide donor GTE: Handle of digging stick of elk horn of a less usual type; it is ornamented in series of small circles. See 2841 for collector's comments on digging sticks. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

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