Description

Mammal bone fragments and shell fragments. Found in bag labeled "Site 10-ID-12/2, Cat # MS9, Bone and shell sample 0"-1" exterior dump S end rock shelter. 11/06/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 7 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/5 (referred to as Bag #7 in his report) contained the following: "bone and shell samples from an exterior dump at the south end of the rock shelter." See also cat.# 1987-12/7, which was originally located in this bag as well. We separated the artifacts from each other based on the original catalog numbers. 07/19/1995, K. Smith These bones were separated from the collections to verify that they were not human. Stephanie Jolivette, UW Archaeology Graduate Student, examined them on 6/22/2010 and confirmed that they were not human. Because they were separated from the collection, they were not identified at the time of the transfer to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in 2009. M. Noble 6/22/2010. This material will need to be deaccessioned and trasferred to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. M. Hotz 7/13/2010
