Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ186/76 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Five mammal bone fragments. Two jaw bones, 2 loose teeth and 1 ankle bone All of the pieces are only fragments. Found in paper level bag labelled "level 5, a-1, Liston and Forbes". The Burke museum archives have Liston and forbes field note books. No mention of these bones are made in the note books. The artifacts in this level bag are assumed to be associated with the Burroughs 1949 excavation, based on the site designations on the bag, as well as, the age of the bag. Many similar level bags were found in the Archaeology Lab in 1997-1998. There is no level bag list in the documents (see Burke Archives) from Burroughs' excavation, and the level bags were not numbered. As a result, we have assigned each level bag a number based on the site number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
