Abstract
T HREE types of sculptured stone objects are found in historic Klamath territory in south central Oregon. Most are disassociated archeological finds, although there is sufficient ethnographic information concerning some to ascribe them to the Klamath. The first and most interesting type consists of anthropomorphic figures called henwas which were used by the shaman; the second consists of other free-standing stone sculptures for which it has been possible to obtain some ethnographic information; the third consists of various decorated utilitarian objects. None of the types is common. The anthropomorphic and zoomorphic sculptures are best considered as extensions of Northwest Coast art. Each specimen has been given a number for the purpose of this paper, and the description and provenience of each are given in Table 1.
