Knife, Chipped Stone Item Number: 5674 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Chipped stone knives (leaf-shaped). Ledger count listed as 44 or 26? Numbers of specimens in upper left hand corner of ledger were entered by Frank Barnett who checked the material in 1939, working as a volunteer.* Two blades or scrapers (5674/54, 5674/2) returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995. These materials were originally sent to Grant County PUD for future exchange (see Borrower's Agreement - 1966), but the exchange papers were never drawn up. Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Thirty-six bifaces counted, previous count on computer was forty-four. There are 32 chert, 1 basalt, 1 obidian and 2 unknown stone bifaces. (6/95). NOTE: At least one was loaned to Washington State Parks and determined to be lost while on loan. R.Andrews 9/15/1995. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
