description:

A perforated mountain sheep horn excavated at the Alva Site by Mr. Look. It is an artifact which could have been used as a wrench for straightening the wooden shafts of arrows or spears. The perforation is located toward the pointed end of the horn; the base shows cutting and smoothing marks.
