ABT. 11 PEEHISTORIC PIT HOUSE VILLAGE SITE — KREEGER 25 



No. 23. Arrowhead of red jasper. Long, narrow, thick section; serrated edges. 

 Base, straight; stem has straight sides and is rounded at base. Dimensions: 

 4 cm. (1.6 in.) long; 1.3 cm. (0.5 in.) wide at base. Cat. No. 333939, U.S.N.M. 



No. 24. Arrowhead of glassy, translucent, smoky chalcedony with mottlings 

 of agate at tip. Thin sectioned, finely chipped over aU. Transversely deeply 

 chipped notches laid at the edges near base, forming bilateral wing barbs. Base 

 is concave and is chipped to thin edge. This arrowhead and the previously 

 described No. 23 and No. 9 are the more characteristic types at Wahluke. Di- 

 mensions: 3.7 cm. (1.5 in.) long; 1.2 cm. (0.5 in.) wide. Cat. No. 333949, 

 U.S.N.M. 



No. 25. Arrowhead of mottled agate. Triangular, thin in section; straight 

 base cleft with notch at its center; transverse notches are chipped at sides near 

 the base for lashing seizing of sinew in hafting. Dimensions: 3.1 cm. (1.2 in.) 

 long; 2 cm. (0.8 in.) wide at base. Cat. No. 333947-G.

Hammer stones and Scaling Knives 



No. 1. Hammerstone of andesite, with weathered natural lateral surfaces. 

 Flakes have been struck off at the edges from either side entirely around the 

 circumference. Found on river beach below site of village located on the bench 

 above. Dimensions; 14.5 cm. (5.7 in.) diameter, 3.3 cm. (1.3 in.) thick. Cat. 

 No. 333627, U.S.N.M. 



No. 2. Hammerstone of weathered greenstone. Oblong and roughly rectang- 

 ular in section. The edges are abraded and crudely flaked at one end, also half 

 the distance of one lateral edge. Found on beach below village. Greenstone 

 pestles and celts are uniformly highly polished and symmetrically finished. This 

 object shows no evidence of intentional working either on lateral surfaces or 

 edges. Dimensions: 19.8 cm. (9.6 in.) long; 2.8 cm. (1.1 in.) thick; 9.4 cm. 

 (2.5 in.) wide. Cat. No. 333560, U.S.N.M. 



No. 3. Rectangular worked hammerstone of reddish-brown quartzite. Sur- 

 face is naturally smooth due to weathering except at the edges, sides, and on 

 one end where intentional fracturing and abrasion by use are shown. The sec- 

 tion at center shows less fracturing and is expanded, giving the hammerstone an 

 oblong lenticular diamond-shape appearance. Surface find near cemetery. 

 Dimensions: 15.6 cm. (9.1 in.) long; 5.7 cm. (2.2 in.) wide; 3.5 cm. (1.4 in.) 

 thick. Cat. No. 333557, U.S.N.M. 



No. 4 Crudely fractured hammerstone of reddish quartzite. One of the 

 many similar unworked tools fractured through use. This object and many 

 similar hammerstone and cooking stones were found on the high bench land 

 above cemetery site. Dimensions: 13.3 cm. (5.3 in.) long; 10 cm. (3.9 in.) wide; 

 6.5 cm. (2.5 in.) thick. Cat. No. 333564, U.S.N.M. 



No. 5. Unworked hammerstone of metamorphic greenstone. Smooth sur- 

 faces except at ends which show abrasion by use. Found on beach below vil- 

 lage site. Dimensions: 10.1 cm. (4 in.) long; 7,1 cm. (2.3 in.) wide; 4.5 cm. 

 (1.7 in.) thick. Cat. No. 333562, U.S.N.M. 



No. 6. Scaling knife of andesite. A flat, circular, water-worn pebble which 

 has been given rectangular form by use and some additional intentional bilat- 

 eral chipping at edges. Removal of facets by fracturing has provided four 

 cutting edges at right angles. Chipping of edges is bilateral and uniform. Sur- 

 face find on beach below village site. Dimensions: 9 cm. (3.5 in.) diameter; 1.5 

 cm. (0.6 in.) sectional thickness. Cat. No. .333618, U.S.N.M. 



No. 7. Scaling knife of basalt. Weathered flat surfaces of pebble bilaterally 

 chipped and fractured at two opposite edges only, providing but two cutting
