Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ186/45 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

Level bag with twelve mammal and bird bone. Found in a paper bag labelled "sj186 bone and shell". Ten of the bones appear to be long bone fragments Two of the bones appear to have been burnt. The artifacts in this level bag are assumed to be associated with the Burroughs 1949 excavation, based on the site designations on the bag, as well as the date of the excavation. Many similar level bags were found in the Archaeology Lab in 1997-1998. There is no level bag list in the documents (see Burke Archives) from Burroughs' excavation, and the level bags were not numbered. As a result, we have assigned each level bag a number based on the site number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
