Chipped Stone Tool Item Number: 5689 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Chipped stone perforators straight and slender), not stemmed drills. Numbers of specimens -55- in upper left hand corner of ledger were entered by Frank Barnett who checked the material in 1939 while working as a volunteer. 3 traded to CMNH.* Five Drills (5689/178, 5689/179, 5689/180, 5689/47, 5689/49) returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995. 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 total count, off the computer, was 55. Now there are nineteen chipped stone tools. Eight are chert points, nine are chert drills, 1 is an obsidian drill and the last is a petrified wood drill (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
