Digger handle of sheephorn.* Fide donor GTE: Handle of digging stick of the horn of the mountain sheep, a very old and much decayed specimen dug up near Lytton. For gathering edible roots, and excavating for any purpose, digging sticks of the rudest type,-simply sharpened sticks- were inserted in a handle of horn or bone, the butt end fitting in and through a hole in the middle of the handle. The handle was more often of the horn of the mountain sheep through often of elk-antler. Very old handles are found upon excavating old house sites, while others are still seen in the possession of the people, the type of both being the same. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
