Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ2A/2 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Fifteen mammal bones of various types, including one bear tooth. Found in a paper bag labelled "mammal and fish bone, SJ2A" in pencil. The artifacts in this 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 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 (and subsite letter when applicable) followed by a consecutive number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
