This specimen is a Class I basket. According to Munsell (1976) (see bib for full citation), Class I baskets are made of twined limb. Catalog number was assigned on the basis of the accession file inventory list. This object is not 45SK59b/5 based on the desription of the basketry card for 45SK59b/5. This basket was treated with polythylene glycol in the manner described by Seborg (1962). Soil matrix was removed via a fine spray of water. Specimens were then soaked in ethanol for 2 days to reduce trapped water. After removal from th eethanol bath, specimens were soaked in a 2:1 aqueous solution of 1,000 molecular weight polyethylene glycol for 2 to 4 days. After this treatment, specimens were placed on wire racks to dry for approximately two weeks. Four years later, the specimens had dried out and were treated again. The treatment has stained and darkened this specimen.

Unmodified elongate, smooth river pebble. Two wooden splints are attached along the long axis by cedar bark bindings. Illustrated in Munsell 1976. P. 121, Plate XII. The catalog number was assigned according to the archaeological site number. This net weight was treated with polythylene glycol in the manner described by Seborg (1962). Soil matrix was removed via a fine spray of water. Specimens were then soaked in ethanol for 2 days to reduce trapped water. After removal from the ethanol bath, specimens were soaked in a 2:1 aqueous solution of 1,000 molecular weight polyethylene glycol for 2 to 4 days. After this treatment, specimens were placed on wire racks to dry for approximately two weeks. Four years later, the specimens had dried out and were treated again.

Portion of more extensive collection of fragments labeled "45SK59B/53a." This single piece of matting was placed on exhibit (Entwined with Life) prior to cataloging the collection. The Object ID should be "53a", but since it was exhbited with "53," this record will be retained and linked to "45SK59B/53a." Please refer to record "45SK59B/53a" for a full catalog description and original basketry card information. L.Phillips, 9/15/2005

Level bag from Mud Bay.

Level bag from Mud Bay (including 5 lithics, 1 shell, and 14 mammal/bird bones) Due to a research project (Royalty Research Fund, PI: J. Stein, 1999), some level bags from this site were assigned catalog numbers prior to receipt of the field bag inventories. The field notes had apparently been borrowed by former curator Dr. Robert Greengo, and were not returned to the Burke until 2002. In 2009-10, the level bags were re-cataloged and assigned their original field bag number. However, the C-14 samples removed from the erroneously-cataloged levels bags that were analyzed for the research project maintain their incorrect level bag reference due to the documentation and publications that resulted from this research.
