Place:
Baranof Island / Sitka, Alexander Archipelago, Alaska, United States, North America
Accession Date:
3 Nov 1882
Collection Date:
1882
Notes:
As of 2009, E67979 consists of a dagger and two sheaths, and E67980, E67981, E67983, and E67984 consist of 1 dagger, each, though originally catalogued as including sheaths. It is possible that one of the sheaths currently numbered E67979 may actually belong with the dagger E67980, E67981, E67983 or E67984?
Provenience note: Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists a locality of Alaska for E67931 - 68019. Catalogue cards list a locality of Sitka. Alaska. It is unclear which is correct, though it is probable that the collection was purchased in Sitka.
