Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ185/32 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Found in a paper level bag labelled "canis, sj185". There are other bags with the same name. Within the bag there was also multiple sites. Each bag, including the one for which these pieces came from usually had more then one site within them. This paper level bag had elements of sj5, and sj2 within in it. Each pieces has a site designation written on it in grease pencil. Multiple jaw bones. One of the jaws have some of the teeth still in place. The artifacts in this level bag are assumed to be associated with the Burroughs 1949 excavation, based on the site and subsite (letter) 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 (and subsite letter if applicable) and consecutive number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
