content: WHEN THE ARTIFACTS WERE REMOVED FROM EXHIBIT IN NHB HALL 9, CASE 16, "PLAINS INDIAN TIPI," A DRESS WAS FOUND WITH CAT. #8480 WRITTEN ON IT. HOWEVER, ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM RECORDS INDICATE CLEARLY THAT A.M.M. SECTION VI #180 (NOW ANTHRO. #8480) SHOULD BE A MAN'S "SHIRT AND LEGGINS USED AS A WAR DRESS." A.M.M. LEDGER BOOK FOR SECTION VI LISTS ONLY ONE OTHER PIECE OF CLOTHING IN KIMBALL COLLECTION, #200, "DRESS OF CROW ...[WOMAN]." THE A.M.M. LEDGER ALSO INDICATES THE DRESS WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE S.I. IN 1869 WITH #180 AND OTHER OBJECTS COLLECTED BY KIMBALL. HOWEVER, THE S.I. LEDGER BOOK LEAVES OUT A.M.M. #200. WE SUSPECT THE DESIGNATION "WAR DRESS" ATTACHED TO #180 CREATED CONFUSION AND THE CROW DRESS WAS WRONGLY ASSUMED TO GO WITH THE SHIRT AND LEGGINGS AND ALL WERE GIVEN #8480 AT THE TIME THE OBJECTS CAME TO THE S.I.. AS THE DRESS AND SHIRT, ETC. HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURAL DESIGNATIONS, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED TO CREATE A SEPARATE COMPUTER RECORD FOR THE DRESS, BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION IT IS THE CROW DRESS COLLECTED BY KIMBALL AND UTILIZING THE INFO. IN THE A.M.M. LEDGER BOOK. - F. PICKERING & C. GREENE 5-21-1998. FOR DESCRIPTION, SEE CONDITION REPORT IN ANTHROPOLOGY CONSERVATION LAB.
