Unmodified Shell Item Number: 45SJ186/86 from the The Burke: University of Washington
50+ clam shells. Found in the bottom of a box labelled "SJ186 bone and shell". . The artifacts in this box are assumed to be associated with the Burroughs 1949 excavation, based on the site designations on the box, as well as the date of the excavation. Many similar level boxes were found in the Archaeology Lab in 1997-1998. There is no box list in the documents (see Burke Archives) from Burroughs' excavation, and the boxes were not numbered. As a result, we have assigned each bag a number based on the site number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
