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.

122 crossed out to 117 arrow points shouldered but not barbed (small).* 27 found & in present location. TAR 5/4/1993. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

41 crossed out to 35 arrow points, stemmed, shouldered and barbed.* 31 found & in new location. TAR,5/3/1993. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Elk antler wedge.* Fide donor GTE: These four (?) [only 3 in ledger-2831-2833] were dug up in a sand hill across the Thompson River from Lytton, B.C. Sections of elk and deer antler, cut diagonally to give rather long but sufficiently strong cutting blades, were used for splitting logs for house building and general wood working. They are generally made from the base of the horn and the head generally shows much wear where it has been struck by the stone hand hammer. Those found buried on old village sites differ in no wise from others of a much later period found in the possession of the present races. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

39 medium sized scrapers of basalt, etc. Remark: 4 traded to CMNH.* *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.

Jade celt or chisel.* Fide donor GTE: Jade chisel, small, black, which in use was fitted on the end of a horn or wood handle. Jade, serpentine and other tough, fine grained stones were used for making celts, chisels and adzes for all wood working and for cutting and dressing skins. Boulders cut in two, smoothed on one surface and grooved, are found on old village sites and camping places. These are most always of greenstone, of jade and serpentine. And when they occur in many flat worked pieces of a coarse silicious sandstone with one or more beveled edges which just fit the deeper grooves in the boulders which would seem to indicate very clearly that these were the knives or saws by means of which the boulders were cut in convenient sized pieces to be worked on: the slightly concave grindstones into tools. The people of the present day have little or no knowledge of this art or manufacture. The grooves show a convex a flat or a concave goove along the bottom but more often is the convex surface apparent. Some of the tools thus cut are finished throughout their length while others are rough splinters merely brought to a cutting edge. In most of the celts and chisels, one or more grooves are plainly visible where the section was cut from the stock piece. Greenstone was universally used for cutting tools and in the following catalogued specimens (2882-2898) the term jade is used to describe those that from their weight and hardness would appear to be of that mineral, although a chemical analysis would be necessary to determine their material structure. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Portion of a stone pipe.* Fide donor GTE: Portion (stem) of tubular stone pipe 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.

Stock piece of light green jade. Fraser River above Lytton, B.C.* Fide donor GTE: Stock piece of jade found on an old village site on the north bank of the Frazer River [sic] above Lytton, British Columbia, where Stein Creek joins the Frazer River [sic]. It shows where two sections have been cut and wedged off. It is of a light green jade veined with a yellowish green. It shows evidence of having been a water worn boulder. Artifact was returned to the Burke Museum by Cindy Farr (Washington State Parks) on 12/2/2004. It had been on loan to WSPRC since the 1960s and was displayed in Sacajewa State Park interpretive center. SWD 12/6/2004 *Information is from the original accession ledger.
