Description

Stemmed, shouldered and barbed arrow heads (obsidian). One located. Four loaned to Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County (Rocky Reach Dam). One returned; three missing. NOTE: determined to be lost while on loan- R. Andrews 9/18/1995. One returned from Marymoor Museum 5-30-91 (not known how many were loaned originally). Remarks: * Two obsidian projectile points (5698/42, 5698/8) 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 indicates 130 tools, of which 42 were located and examined. There were three side-notched obsidian points, 2 basally notched obsidian points, 21 corner notched obsidian points, and twelve stemmed obsidian points. Of the chert points, one was side notched, one was basally notched, one was stemmed, and one was corner notched. (6/95) One obsidian projectile point was returned to the museum from the U.W. anthropology department. It is shouldered with a tapered stem. Catalog number on artifact has partially worn off; it could be 5697 or 5698, but has been assigned #5697 (L. Phillips 1/28/1997). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
