Unmodified Shell Item Number: 45SJ186/99 from the The Burke: University of Washington
20 sea urchin spines and one shell. Found in a paper bag labelled "sj186, level bag, sq. A-1" in pencil. "Liston and Forbes" we alsao written on the outside odf the bags. The Burke museum archives do have their field note books from this dig, there is no mention of this or any other level bags. 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 date of the excavation. 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
