A description of the Allyn area can be found in, "A Report on An Archaeological Survey on Lower Puget Sound" by John Winterhouse, Jr., 1948 (See Burke Archives or UW Manuscripts and Archives Division). However, the Allyn IV site is not mentioned in his report. LSP, 1/23/96. From Ledger: Point, chert. Collected By Fred Buding, received by John Winterhouse.
