Bureau of Land Management Archaeology Collection : Prehistoric Cultures

Description:
This Curation / Inventory Record sheet is for one of thirteen boxes of excavated materials from this site. Each box will be designated by an "a'", "b", etc. after the last number of the accession number.
There are some problems with this box. Several bags have provenance papers in them and are labled "Missing". The missing items are nearly always flakes. They may be curated elsewhere in the colections from this site. They obviously were missing before they came to the Museum of the West. This entire collection needs to be re–inventoried and the artifact lables checked against content for accuracy. P. Born
