Grinding Stone2.5E1972

DESCRIPTION: Large flat slab of volcanic rock, with a hole cut through it. It may have been a net weight, but appears to have a worn side from grinding tools on. The top surface appears purposefully incised with parallel geometric lines and triangles. The surface also looks worn and pitted as if from being struck by something. NOTE: This had part of an old tag on it, identical to the tags on artifacts loan by Wickersham to the Ferry Museum, and MAY be part of the Wickersham collection, at one time loaned to the Ferry Museum [Washington State Historical Society] and later sold at The Nugget Shop in Juneau, AK. The description for item #53 on the inventory list of Wickersham material loaned to the Ferry Museum reads: "Grindstone from Mud Bay, Wash, Old Inlet, about 8 x 9 x 2." [This probably refers to Mud Bay, Eld Inlet, to the west of Olympia.] The dimensions match this specimen, and it has surfaces on it which have been used for smoothing/sharpening.
