Groundstone Tool Item Number: 45SJ280/406 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

The field specimen inventory describes this object as a "net sinker." However it is unclear from this fragment what it was used for. One edge is smooth and rounded, the other is jagged as if it has broken off from a larger piece. H.Divjak 12/08/2003.
