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.

Wood working knife.* Fide donor GTE: Knife consisting of an iron blade attached by notches to a hard wood handle, a wood working tool. This tool was dug up on the bank of the Fraser three miles above Lytton. 11/14/1989, BAB: This item is misnumbered as 2846. NOTE this has been corrected, and knife has been renumbered 2847. *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.

Bone awl.* Fide donor GTE: Bone awl for sewing and basket weaving, dug up at Lytton. From old graves and camping places in the sand, bone tools of all kinds are dug up: awls for sewing and basket weaving, points for fish spears, tool handles and incised pieces, as well as horn implements as wedges, daggers, etc. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Piece of bone pendant.* Fide donor GTE: Section of bone, dug up at Lytton. It has a small hole at the larger rounded end. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Upper part of chisel of dark green.* Fide donor GTE: Upper part of a chisel of a dark mottled green. Dug up near Lytton, B.C. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Sandstone knife.* Fide donor GTE: Portion of a very coarse sandstone knife used for sawing jade, serpentine and other stone boulders to procure sections for making celts and chisels. Found on the surface of the sand hill across the Thompson from Lytton. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Stone hammer.* Fide donor GTE: Stone hand hammer of green stone finely worked and smoothed. 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.
