Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ2A/38 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Found in a box that contained fish, bird and mammal bone. All of the bones had different numbers written on them in grease pencil,"SJ5, SJ185". One mammal vertebrae had the number "2a" written on the bone in grease pencil. The artifacts in this level bag are assumed to be associated with the Burroughs 1949 excavation, based on the site and subsite (letter) 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 (and subsite letter if applicable) followed by a consecutive number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
