Mammal bone fragments found in bag labeled "35-WL-4/B2, Cat# PV23, Bone frags collected from cut bank - varying depths. 10/20/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 11 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), "although these bone fragments do not appear to be human, I could not make a determination. The tooth does not appear to be human." We agree that the bones are not human. 07/21/1995, 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

Hopper mortar

Groundstone Tool/Grinding stone(?) with evidence of grinding and polished wear on top and bottom surfaces. Broken into three pieces and glued together (by collector?). Pieces are labeled "A", "B" and "C", respectively. L.Phillips, 10/31/2002

Mammal bone fragments and shell fragments. Found in bag labeled "Site 10-ID-12/2, Cat # MS9, Bone and shell sample 0"-1" exterior dump S end rock shelter. 11/06/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 7 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/5 (referred to as Bag #7 in his report) contained the following: "bone and shell samples from an exterior dump at the south end of the rock shelter." See also cat.# 1987-12/7, which was originally located in this bag as well. We separated the artifacts from each other based on the original catalog numbers. 07/19/1995, K.

Mammal bone fragments found in bag labeled "35-WL-4/B1, Cat# PV22, Bone frags - 31 in. level in cut bank in broken rock cluster. 10/20/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 13 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/15 is from site #35-WL-41. He recorded its contents as "7 bone fragments. A proximal humerus fragment may be from a human infant, however it has a fossa in its articulating surface." I believe he misread the site number on the label. It should be 35-WL-4 [35-WA-4]. Additionally, I believe the bones are not those of a human, but rather an artiodactyl. 07/21/1995, K. Smith. These bones were separated from the collections to verify that they were not human.

According to Guy Marden (see p. 7 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/7 (referred to as Bag #7 in his report) contained the following: "bone and shell samples from an exterior dump at the south end of the rock shelter. These shells and bone fragments, marked MS10, were originally in Bag #7 along with the objects marked MS9 (cat.# 1987-12/5). We separated these objects by catalog number, but preserved all the original information with each set of artifacts. 07/19/1995, K. Smith.

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.

5+ shells and fragments; 16 mammal bone fragments; 3 chert flakes; 5 pieces of shatter; 1 pebble. Found in bag labeled "10-ID-12/4 Cat# MS11; Flakes, burnt bone, shell, stone; 6"-20" interior of rock shelter. 11/7/55 GLC" According to Guy Marden (see p. 7 of his Draft report of Native American Indian Burials from the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, copy received at Burke 1995), cat.# 1987-12/8 (referred to as Bag #9 in his report) contained the following: "flakes, burnt bone and shell from the interior of the rock shelter. 07/20/1995, K.

Soil sample found in bag labeled "10-ID-7/SS1, Cat# PV18, Soil sample taken from scraper cache. Taken in vicinity of mandible frag. 10-15-55 GLC." The mandible fragment mentioned above was found in this soil sample. We removed it, and cataloged it separately as cat. # 1987-12/10. M. Hotz 7/13/2010. Note that some tiny fragments of non-human bone remain with this soil sample. This soil sample is from federal property, but was overlooked at the time of the 2009 transfer to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. This material will need to be deaccessioned and transferred to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. M. Hotz 7/13/2010.
