edges, in contrast with the four cutting edges of No. 6. Other similar flat sur- 

 faced rectangular scaling knives have three cutting edges. Dimensions: 9.7 cm. 

 (3.8 in.) diameter. Cat. No. 333623, U.S.N.M. 



No. 8. Flaked sandstone knife. This oval form of stone flake is used as a 

 general utility knife and is essentially a flake struck off a larger core by fractur- 

 ing. A large flake has been struck off the mid section and there is rechipping 

 entirely around the circumference on one side only. Beach surface find. Dimen- 

 sions: 10.3 cm. (4 in.) long; 5.9 cm. (2.3 in.) wide; 2.4 cm. (0.9 in.) thick. Cat. 

 No. 333625, U.S.N.M. 



No. 9. Oval-shaped blade or scraper from a core of diorite. Reverse lateral 

 surface is sand weathered with chipped and flaked edges; obverse surface has 

 been shaped by fracturing over all and by rechipping entirely around the circum- 

 ference. Dimensions: 10.7 cm. (4.2 in.) long; 9.9 cm. (2.7 in.) wide; 2.4 cm. 

 (0.9 in.) thick. Cat. No. 333626, U.S.N.M. 



No. 10. Scaling knife or scraper of brown sandstone. This form of flake knife 

 is similar to No. 8, and is itself a flake from a larger core. A large flake has 

 been struck off its exposed or weathered surface by fracturing from one edge. 

 Surface find. Dimensions: 13 cm. (5.1 in.) long; 5.9 cm. (2.3 in.) wide. Cat. 

 No. 333612, U.S.N.M. 



No. 11. Worked oblong granitic pebble used as scaling knife or scraper. Nat- 

 ural, smooth, weathered lateral surfaces fractured on longitudinal edges but not 

 at the ends by intentional bilateral pecking and further abraded by use. Surface 

 find on beach below village site. Dimensions: 18.9 cm. (7 in.) long; 8.9 cm. (3, 

 6 in.) wide; 5 cm. (2 in.) thick. Cat. No. 333658, U.S.N.M.

Objects of Personal Adornment 



No. 1. Rectangular slab of argillite probably used as a mirror. Edges have 

 been worked and corners rounded. No etched figures appear on the lateral sur- 

 faces, nor is there a perforation for suspension. Surface find on cemetery site. 

 Dimensions: 4.6 cm. (1.8 in.) long; 3.1 cm. (1.2 in.) wide; 0.3 cm. sectional 

 thickness. Cat. No. 333688, U.S.N.M. 



No. 2. Lump of copper carbonate and malachite found with the burial offerings 

 in grave 3. This material is not copper but occurs naturally between layers of 

 mineral rock. Used probably as a paint ingredient. 



No. 3. Lump of red ocher found in grave 4. There was no paint cup found 

 near the object. The ocher crumbles easily and must have produced a very 

 effective paint. Dimensions: 4.1 cm. (1.6 in.) long; 3.1 cm. (1.2 in.) wide. Cat. 

 No. 333669, U.S.N.M. 



No. 4. Fragment of yellow ocher. Found in grave 5 with other burial offer- 

 ings. Dimensions: 4.8 cm. (1.9 in.) long; 2 cm. (0.8 in.) wide. Cat. No. 333669, 

 U.S.N.M. 



No. 5. Pendant of abalone shell {Haliotis rufescens). Perforated for suspen- 

 sion at one end near center by drilling; perforation is of uniform diameter. The 

 edges of the shell have been cut to the form of a rectangle, rubbed at the ends 

 and rounded at the corners. Incised marginal etchings in series of three and five 

 appear at one lateral edge. Dimensions: 12 cm. (4.7 in.) long; 6.3 cm. (2.5 in.) 

 wide; 0.7 cm. sectional thickness. Collected by H. T. Harding at the railroad 

 terminal in Wenatchee, Wash. Probably part of an exposed burial offering. 



No. 6. Chalcedonic notched pendant or scraper. Found at Lyons Ferry near 

 Almonta, on the Snake River. Lateral edges have been chipped to thin surfaces 

 and are convexly rounded in shape. There is evidence of rubbing through use. 

 End sections are concave, forming grooves for hafting or for cross lashing of
