Description

This bag was labeled "3S, 0E" with no other identifying factors. Research in R. Schalk and F. Bell's fieldnotes suggest that this dog skull was found in the same level and unit quadrant as the human remains cataloged as " Burial 4" , E. Shirbroun, 11/14/2003 The dog skull was found at a depth of 133/137cm, however Schalk and Bell's notes do not indicate the skull is related to the burial. The burial was only slightly in the unit and surrounded by a circle of 6 rocks. The dog skull was south of this circle. There is not mention of bag 209 in the notebooks. "3S, 0E" was a marker on the edge of the unit. J. Milhausen 8/6/2009 45SJ280/LB110 is a level bag from this same unit "3S, 0E" that has been designated as associated funerary objects because human remains were removed from it. The original level bag list stops at LB208 so it appears that this number was assigned at the Burke. This does not appear to be a true level bag, rather an bag containing dog remains and sediment. It does not appear to have a connection to burial 4 based on its provenance. M. Noble 08/07/2009
