Description | This object is a lithic and is 3 ½ inches long. Both the ANSP and loan numbers are visible, but unreadable because of the pumice-like texture of the stone. The lithic is very symmetrical and rounded on the base. It narrows to form a knob on one end. It is green-gray with red staining in the natural divots. |
