Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ2C/4 from the The Burke: University of Washington
The bag contains fragments of animal bone. At least two of the fragments are jaw bones. The rest are difficult to determine. Found in a paper bag labelled "canis." There are two other bags with the same name. These bones all had the site numbers "2c" written on them in grease pencil. 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
