Description

One fragment of basketry. Tag found with artifact is labeled as "45-KI-8-B/365/B-7"/FN-193." An additional tag is labeled as "45KT20 (KI 8) Box 12.4 IllSW '62 Fig 31" in black ink. The Field Catalog Form lists the artifact's provenience as: Unit B-Block B, Vert. 7" and description as: "coiled basketry frag.; Associations: AR-193." NOTE: There are two AR-193 entries in Field Book 2. This entry uses the 7" depth because the associated tag uses 7" as the depth. The other AR-193 seems to be associated with Field Catalog Form entry #367. Artifact Record #193 reads: "Description: Basketry, Sq. or Pit #: B, Instr D: 7", Loc.: 59" of Stk. NW and 5.5" of Stk. NE, By: Giesa, Date: 7/21/53." (S. Chappel 2/25/10)
