Description

Triangular, straight base arrow heads. Remarks: 5 traded CMNH. Number of specimens in upper left corner was recorded by Frank Barnett, who checked the material in 1939, working at the museum as a volunteer.* NOTE: 4 Points were exhcanged to Grant County PUD, 6/5/1970. See accn file. (9/322/1993, DH) Four points (5703/243, 5703/253, 5703/257, 5703/52) 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). Previous counts show 220 tools, of which 65 were located and examined. Most were chert: 14 unstemmed (triangular) points, 5 Plateau pentagonal knives, 29 concave based points, 7 concave (mule ear knives), 6 lanceolate points, all of chert. There were four petrified wood pieces -- one mule-ear knive and three lanceolate points. (6/95) Three trianglular arrow heads from this collection were returned to the museum from the U.W. Anthroplogy Department. (L. Phillips, January 23, 1997). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
