Bead, Glass Item Number: 45KI51D/80-312 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Description
Clear glass bead, blue, drilled through center. Exhibited at Southwest Historical Society (2000-2001 - see Loan #116). At the time, this object hadn't been cataloged, and was temporarily numbered 45KI51/3a. This bead was found in an envelope with one other bead (45KI51D/80-313). These beads were also separately numbered 575 and 576, respectively. It is unknown how this 500-series numbering system was developed or used, but this needs to be figured out. The envelope in which they were stored, also appeared to have held 45KI51D/80-314 and 80-315, but these were not found in the envelope. Note that the envelope and the corresponding 1980 Artifact Catalog list four beads, 80-312 to 80-315 as excavated from the same unit (10N 6W) and level (CL1A), and placed in bag #46. It is unclear which bead was assigned which number. Since only two beads were found in the envelope, we assigned them 80-312 and 80-313. L.Phillips, 11/26/2001.
