content: Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies this as "Raphael River Utah Indians". "Utah" is an archaic name often used for the Ute, and the person who typed the catalogue card has listed "Ute" as culture for this object. "Raphael River" probably refers to the San Rafael River, a tributary of the Green River in east central Utah?
