Ancient Stone PestleE46488-0
Pestle, Diorite, Tobacco CrusherE43232-0

This object has been identified on the catalogue card as a pestle, "trobasas crusher." However, the old label in Beardslee's hand glued onto the artifact identifies it as a tobacco crusher. As Beardlee's handwriting is very difficult to decipher, it appears that "trobasas" is a garbled transcription of "tobacco", and so the identification for this artifact has been changed to tobacco in the artifact catalogue database.
