Description

Pumice (crossed out) scoria stone tool.* One stone tool returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995. These materials were originally sent to Grant County PUD for future exchange (see Borrower's Agreement - 1966), but the exchange papers were never drawn up. Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Vesicular basalt, roughly triangular in plan view. Flat piece with grooves along all three edges of triangle (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
