Unmodified Shell Item Number: 45SJ278/LB37/2 from the The Burke: University of Washington
One shell samples. Removed from level bag #39 (formerly level bag #37, but see below) as a candidate for testing by Beta Analytic. Sample was not selected for testing, but was assigned sample number 278S03 The data for samples that were tested was included in the Royalty Research Fund project organized by Dr. Julie Stein. Sample was returned to level bag 37 unanalyzed. K. Lutz 09/18/2009 The correct level bag number from which this sample was removed is: 45SJ278/LB39. Due to a research project (Royalty Research Fund, PI: J. Stein, 1999), some level bags from this site were assigned catalog numbers prior to receipt of the field bag inventories. The field notes had apparently been borrowed by former curator Dr. Robert Greengo, and were not returned to the Burke until 2002. In 2009-10, the level bags were re-cataloged and assigned their original field bag number. However, the C-14 samples removed from the erroneously-cataloged levels bags that were analyzed for the research project maintain their incorrect level bag reference due to the documentation and publications that resulted from this research.
