content: Note: The group of artifacts labeled as an add-on to accession 108499 and now located in the Processing Lab (A1-601-001-03), was taken out of a drawer in the Textile Room in the early 1980s. All the artifacts in the group are types associated with cave sites from Northwestern Mexico. There is evidence to link some of these artifacts to catalogued specimens in one of several collections. See the copies of catalog cards in this file for examples. One of the artifacts in this group already has a T # (T-15713). The whole group appears to be fragments that have become disassociated from various catalogued specimens. It is not a cohesive series from a single collection that got separated from the rest of its parent collection. If for the sake of expediency, Collections Management would like to keep all these problems together, it would be better to assign a new control number, rather than adding on arbitrarily to a collection that is probably only related to some of these specimens, namely 108499. With a little more work some of these artifacts could be resituated with the catalogued specimens they are part of. The rest could be assigned T numbers and put in storage with the collections from these cave sites. Then a new control number would not be necessary. Deborah Wood June 28, 1996
