Native Cord From Spruce RootsE20860-0

FROM CARD: "PUTNAM 5/88." This seems to refer to a partial transfer. This information is also written in the second ledger book in red ink.The first Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists this object as "native cord from spruce roots, 1 bundle or coil." The second ledger book has this description, but the words "packing box" have been added as an addition in red ink to the description. In 1888, a bent wood box with this number was transferred to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard. As of 2010, one coiled length of fiber cord with this number is still in the Anthropology collections.
