Mammal bone. Complete set of 2 valves and 1 arming point, assembled and glued together. Described in Croes 1976. P. 105.
Chisel of mottled green and black.* Fide donor GTE: Chisel of a mottled green and black from Salt Spring Island off the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. One of the more narrow edges shows two cutting grooves and the broken ridge between. Such an implement would have been inserted in the end of a handle of horn, bone or wood. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Grindstone.* Fide donor GTE: Portion of a grindstone of a fine silicious sandstone, slightly concave face. It is very conclusively established that jade and other fine grained celts were worked down and sharpened upon these stones, which are found about old living and camping sites together with the sandstone saws and partly cut boulders, and an examination of jade and other celts shows almost invariably a corresponding convex side and cutting surface. These grindstones from their brittleness are seldom found in large slabs, but more in broken sections which are often smoothed on both flattened faces and sometimes along the edges. Slab is about 3 cm thick, roughly triangular in plan view. Center area of one side is smoother than areas near edges; other side shows signs of weathering. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Bone awl.* Modified mammal rib. One end pointed, other end irregularly notched. (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Bone awl.* Blunt end has modern string tied around it (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Bone awl.* Broken into three fragments. One end pointed, other end spatulate. Dimensions are given for whole object, reconstructed (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Bone awl.* One side incised with a sinuous longitudinal incision and about 30 crosswise insiced lines (hatch marks) (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Long pointed bone implement (decorated) awl.* Possibly a blanket pin or a miniature staff. Cylindrical, pointed on one end, other end decorated with raised ring and linear incisions. End broken (chipped). Root marks mar the survace, and incisions are filled with red pigment (ochre?) (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Comb with anthropomorphic face at center, and two animals with tongues sticking out forming arch above face; ten comb teeth - all partially or completely reconstructed. Found about four feet from the surface.
