Indigenous peoples along the river produced thousands of stone tools, sculptures, and art objects over millennia, taking advantage of abundant local materials like basalt, steatite (soapstone), serpentine, and other stones. Stone artifacts survive well compared to wood or bone, providing key insights into their culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970020688037,"sku":"230726-15","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/230726-15_2.jpg?v=1783129254","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/columbia-river-stone-artifact","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
