FROM CARD: "PUTNAM 5/88." This seems to refer to a partial transfer. This information is also written in the second ledger book in red ink.The first Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists this object as "native cord from spruce roots, 1 bundle or coil." The second ledger book has this description, but the words "packing box" have been added as an addition in red ink to the description. In 1888, a bent wood box with this number was transferred to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard. As of 2010, one coiled length of fiber cord with this number is still in the Anthropology collections.

From card: "Old twined basket stretched around a hoop of wood; oval in shape."In letter dated April 17, 1901 in accession file, Emmons identifies this object as from Killisnoo.

Because of this confusion, and because of the fact that Killisnoo and Angoon are only 2 miles apart, it is unclear whether this object was collected at Killisnoo or Angoon.
