content: Selected remains from Shanidar collected when Solecki was in the employment of the SI. The collection also includes remains from wild goat, equids, large and small bovids, cervids, pig, small mammals, birds, and shell. Provenience information is included with material. Material represents Square A7, Layer C at a depth of 2.45. In 2012 the sample was discovered in a broken glass vial kept in a plastic bag. The sample has since been sieved and repacked and is housed in a shared box with USNM 424944-424954. Remaining material from Shanidar is probably at Columbia.
