content: FROM CARD: "CEDAR SQUARED ROD WITH CUTS AND SYMBOLS WORKED ON SURFACE. THERE EXISTS IN THE DIVISION'S COLLECTION AN EXACT COPY OF THIS SPECIMEN, MADE BY DELANCEY GILL OF THE BAE. THIS COPY HAS NO SEPARATE MUSEUM NUMBER BUT IS MARKED TO INDICATE ITS NATURE AND ORIGIN. COLLECTED IN 1902. SEE BAE 26TH ANNUAL REPORT." PROVENIENCE NOTE: THE ACCESSION FILE HANDWRITTEN "LIST OF SPECIMENS" INDICATES, AS DOES RUSSELL'S BAE 26TH ANNUAL REPORT (PP. 104-05), THAT DURING HIS 1901-2 FIELDWORK ON THE GILA RIVER RESERVATION HE COLLECTED 3 PIMA CALENDAR STICKS, "WHICH HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED GILA CROSSING, BLACKWATER, AND CASA BLANCA CALENDARS, FROM THE NAMES OF THE VILLAGES WHENCE THEY CAME." THE CASA BLANCA SPECIMEN IS #218130 (ORIG. #264); THE BLACKWATER, #218135 (ORIG. #199). IT IS PROBABLE BUT NOT VERIFIED THAT #218134 IS THE GILA CROSSING ARTIFACT. SEE ALSO #174 IN HANDWRITTEN LIST OF SPECIMENS IN ACCESSION RECORD, WHICH IS LISTED AS "CALENDAR STICK, (FROM) KAEMAA" WHICH MAY ALSO REFER TO #218134. - F. PICKERING 8-10-2000
