Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ5B/22 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

One mammal phalange. Found in a paper level bag labelled "deer" in pencil. Bag also contained elements from sites 185, 25, 2. The bone had "5b" written on it 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) and consecutive number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
