content: Remains of a trade knife identified as "Dadly" or "Dadley" by Mr. Arthur Woodward, Altadena, California (see site files for Woodward letters giving complete information). N.B. - Apparently the knife was found by Mr. Huddleston, Corps of Engineers, during the summer or fall of 1974. Along with other specimens (Field numbers 39ST12, 423 through 450) he turned it over to the Omaha office of the National Park Service. Mr. Guy Edwards, of that office, sent the other specimens to the Missouri Basin Project in Lincoln but forwarded the knife to Mr. Woodward, then of the Southwest Museum, Los Angeles, for identification. Mr. Woodward not knowing the exact, or intended, ownership of the knife, retianed it until informed by Mr. G. Hubert Smith, Archaeologist in Charge, that the Missouri Basin Project would like to have it. The knife was received in Lincoln on November 14, 1955.
