These materials were originally sent to Grant County PUD for future exchange (see Borrower's Agreement - 1966), but the exchange papers were never drawn up. Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Previous counts show 220 tools, of which 65 were located and examined. Most were chert: 14 unstemmed (triangular) points, 5 Plateau pentagonal knives, 29 concave based points, 7 concave (mule ear knives), 6 lanceolate points, all of chert. There were four petrified wood pieces -- one mule-ear knive and three lanceolate points. (6/95) Three trianglular arrow heads from this collection were returned to the museum from the U.W. Anthroplogy Department. (L. Phillips, January 23, 1997). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
