Point, Modified Stone Item Number: 5676 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Description
Chipped leaf-shaped spear heads (pointed at both ends) used/found in vicinity of Goldendale. 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. The other ledger number was 26.* One point (5676/50) 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 count on computer was 18 bifaces. Only 13 were counted (1995). There were 10 chert, 2 basalt and one uniditified chipped stone tools. One was dropped and broken (L. Phillips, 5/18/95). These bifaces are whole, ellipsoid and pointed on both ends, unstemmed (6/95). NOTE: One was on loan to Washington State Parks and determined to be lost while on loan. R.Andrews 9/15/1995. *Information is from the original accession ledger. **Information is from the accession file.
