As of 2009, E67979 consists of a dagger and two sheaths, and E67980, E67981, E67983, and E67984 consist of 1 dagger, each, though originally catalogued as including sheaths. It is possible that one of the sheaths currently numbered E67979 may actually belong with the dagger E67980, E67981, E67983 or E67984?Provenience note: Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists a locality of Alaska for E67931 - 68019. Catalogue cards list a locality of Sitka. Alaska. It is unclear which is correct, though it is probable that the collection was purchased in Sitka.

72683, 72684, 72696 and 72697 are identified as Swan original # 45. Swan's list in the accession file identifies # 45 as "3 Indian baskets from Sitka, and wooden canoe bailer." Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists no object # 72698, though it is identified as a basket on the group catalogue card for 72696 - 8, all three of which are listed as Sitka. Catalogue card for 72696 - 8 lists culture as Makah, but the source of that ID is unknown. If Sitka is correct, baskets 72696 and 72697 may instead be Tlingit?
