Extract

The artifacts described here were collected by Warren T. Lee in 1953 from a shelter hollowed out of basalt by the action of Crab Creek, the only perennial tributary of the left bank of the Columbia River between the junctions of the Spokane and Snake. The shelter is located in a semi-arid region near the western edge of Adams County where Crab Creek meanders in and out of Grant County on its way to the Columbia River at Beverly, Washington (Fig. 1). Testing revealed two occupation levels and produced a small number of artifacts.
