Place:
Barrow Near, Barrow Quad, Alaska, United States, North America
Accession Date:

Notes:
Although the catalog card for this item says it is from Burial 3 of House E, Ford's 1959 report on the site does not list it as from the burial and instead lists it as from the floor of the house. Therefore, this item is not considered to be funerary and the "Burial 3" attribution is believed to be an error in repetition in preparing the catalog cards.
