Unmodified Bone Item Number: EXU12H0012100 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

Unmodifed bone. Note that during faunal analysis by Kristine Bovy, a 1" bag of bone from Excavation Unit 1, Level 2H, Bucket 1 was analyzed, but its corresponding record in the database could not be found. However, there was a record in the database for a 1" bag of bone from Bucket 2, even though no corresponding bag could be found. It is likely that the bag (Bucket 1) and the record (Bucket 2) represent the same material, although it remains unclear whether the bone was actually recovered from Bucket 1 or Bucket 2. Since K. Bovy reported the bone in her analysis as coming from Bucket 1, this record was changed to EXU12H0012100 (from EXU12H0022100). L. Phillips, 7/16/2009. Non-fish vertebrates from this bag were analyzed on site by Kris Bovy from January to February, 2006. The bones were analyzed in terms of taxonomic affiliation, abundance, and modification. They were sorted into five main categories: bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, and unidentified. Bovy's full analysis sheets are attached to this record. NAB, 8/19/2009
