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). Fifty-five chert drills, 1 chert point with contracting base. Six obsidian drills, 1 basally notched obsidian point, and one obsidian point with the base broken. Two petrified wood chipped stone tools -- one is a drill, the other is an unclassified chipped stone tool. Previous total count was 136, of which 66 remain (6/95).
