Chipped Stone Tool Item Number: 5678 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Description
Chipped leaf-shaped points (straight base). Remarks: Numbers of specimens in upper left hand corner -9- of ledger were entered by Frank Barnett who checked the material in 1939 working as a volunteer. Original ledger number was 10.* 1 projectile point stored in drawer 20D10, 5/7/90 RWA. One point (5678/55) 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). Triangular, unstemmed, bifaces. All ten are made of chert. The previous computer entry indicated only 9 bifaces (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
