Description

One fragment of basketry. Tag found with artifact is labeled as "45-KI-8-B/365/B-7"/FN-193." An additional tag is labeled as "45KT20 (KI 8) Box 12.4 IllSW '62 Fig 31" in black ink. The Field Catalog Form lists the artifact's provenience as: Unit B-Block B, Vert. 7" and description as: "coiled basketry frag.; Associations: AR-193."
