Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ185B/4 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

One mammal scapula and one mammal bone fragment in poor condition. Found in paper bag labelled "deer & elk bone". This bone was found with elements of 45SJ2, 45SJ25, and 45SJ186. The bone had the number "185b/4" written in grease upon it. 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
