Miscellaneous bone and shell fragments found in bag labeled "Site #10-ID-12/2, Cat. #MS9, Bone and shell sample, 0"-6" outside dump S corner of rock shelter. 11-7-55, GLC." According to Guy Marden (see p. 8 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/6 (referred to as Bag #8 in his report) contained the following: "bone and shell samples from a dump at the south corner of the rock shelter, bone may or may not be human." We do not believe that any of these bones are human. 07/19/95, K. Smith. These bones were separated from the collections to verify that they were not human. Stephanie Jolivette, UW Archaeology Graduate Student, examined them on 6/22/2010 and confirmed that they were not human. Because they were separated from the collection, they were not identified at the time of the transfer to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in 2009. M. Noble 6/22/2010. This material will need to be deaccessioned and transferred to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. M. Hotz 7/13/2010
