content: This collection includes all the identifiable remains from Ali Kosh shipped to the U.S. from Iran. The collection is relatively large, well preserved, and well labeled. Many bones are inscribed with the following information: A letter designating site (A = Ali Kosh, H = Tebe Sabz). A number follows this letter which refers to the 1x1 meter grid square into which the excavations at Ali Kosh and Tepe Sabz were excavated (see pages 32 and 52 of Hole, Flannery, and Neely). This number is followed by 'a / and' then either a single number or a range of numbers which is equivalent to the depth in centimeters. The stratigraphic correlates of these depths are also to be found in Hole, Flannery, and Neely. Not all bones carry all this information. Some bear only the grid number and/or the depth, but the boxes in which the bones are stored usually contain information which will allow the bone to be attributed at least to the general site of origin. Some bones, mostly sheep and goat limb bones, bear only a five digit number of unclear meaning. A few bones have no number. Species represented in this whole collection include sheep and goat (both wild and domestic), pig, gazelle, onager, wild cattle, and dogs - plus a variety of small mammals, birds, lizards, and fish. All major periods of occupation are represented ranging from about 8000 to 6000 B.C. Volume = 17.27 cubic feet (including Tepe Sabz remains)
