Bone from Level Bag Item Number: 45SJ2A/5 from the The Burke: University of Washington
There are 14 bird bone fragments. The bones were found in a paper bag labelled "SJ 2A, Bird, strata 1" in pencil. A few of the bones had numbers written on them in grease pencil. The numbers that were written on the ouside of the bag matched the numbers that were written on the bones "2a". 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 date of 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 if applicable) followed by a consecutive number. L.Phillips, 4/28/98
