One CVR flake in good condition.

One CVR Cascade Point in good condition.

Bone blanket pin in the shape of an animal head with an open mouth. Pin is light brown with darker brown coloring inside of carved lines. Carved lines on the bottom jaw define a tongue inside the mouth. Three carved concentric ovals define the shape of an eye on both sides of the head. Protruding from the top of the head are two 0.3 cm high ear-like knobs. A 0.9 cm in diameter hole runs through the head diagonally from the back of the head to the bottom of the lower jaw, this hole appears to be the hollow of the bone that the pin was carved from. Shaft of pin is a missing element and was broken off 0.41 cm from the back of the head. T.Felt, 4/14/2009

CVR flake removed by Amanda Taylor from Level Bag 6 for non-destructive XRF sourcing analysis. It was sent to Dr. Craig Skinner at Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon on 11/13/08 for analysis. A. Deep 11/14/08 Assigned Analysis Catalog #27 by Amanda Taylor. See Multimedia link for XRF results. A. Deep 12/02/2008 Northwest Research Obsidian Lab #BO-08-109. A. Deep 12/02/2008 Description from 45SJ280/LB6 catalog record: "Level Bag, contains two bags, H.Divjak 11/6/2003 One human tooth was possibly found in this level bag (artifact #45SJ280/1993-47/748). This tooth was found while cataloging material from 45-SJ-280 in October 1997. Although teeth and other naturally shed items are excluded from NAGPRA, this tooth is identified as a "human remain" due to the location of other burials within the site. An attempt was made to match this tooth to existing crania and mandibles from 45-SJ-280, but no match was found. SWD 11/7/97 Based on the fact that the bag these artifacts were found in was unlabeled, this catalog number was assigned by the Burke Museum. This number was assigned before the collection changed accession numbers. Therefore, a previous accession number of 1993-47 is referenced. M. Noble 4/05/2004 Contents of LB5 and LB6 of this unit were reviewed by and S. Jolivette on 11/10/04 and no other human remains were found. Based on this, the tooth is not considered to be a burial and the level bags are not considered associated. (K. Chobot, 11/12/04)"
