Scraper, Stone Item Number: 45KT20/398.2 from the The Burke: University of Washington

Description

One small chert scraper on red chert flake. Label reads "Unit 3S3 Level 2 'Level Bag.'" The original field catalog form has no mention of a stone scraper in its description of "Wood, bone", but on the later copy of the field catalog form, in pencil a note reads "1 chert scraper not listed in inventory, found bone." Because the chert scraper was not listed on the original form, the Unit and Level information is questionable. No artifact record number given. 04/26/2011 I. Ostericher.
