Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 12/14/1987 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Mammal bone fragments found in bag labeled "35-WL-4/B2, Cat# PV23, Bone frags collected from cut bank - varying depths. 10/20/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 11 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), "although these bone fragments do not appear to be human, I could not make a determination. The tooth does not appear to be human." We agree that the bones are not human. 07/21/1995, K. Smith. These bones were separated from the collections to verify that they were not human. Stephanie Jolivette, UW Archaeology Graduate Student, examined them on 6/22/2010 and confirmed that they were not human. Because they were separated from the collection, they were not identified at the time of the transfer to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in 2009. M. Noble 6/22/2010. This material will need to be deaccessioned and transferred to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. M. Hotz 7/13/2010
