WYOMING" BUT RECORDED VARIOUSLY IN THE CARD CATALOG AS "NORTHERN WYOMING," "WIND RIVER," OR "WIND RIVER AGENCY." NOTES IN THE ACCESSION FILE BY NEIL M. JUDD (AUGUST 1915) STATE, "NEITHER THE NATURE OF THE MATERIAL NOR THE LOCALITIES FROM WHICH IT CAME IS INDICATED." FROM CARD: "MADE FROM THE FEET AND TOES OF RAPACIOUS BIRDS. STRUNG ON BUCKSKIN THONG AND HELD APART BY SECTIONS OF THE LONG BONES OF BIRDS, AND TRIMMED WITH OTTER SKIN. INVENTORIED 1975." #22012 is written on first bone on the proper right of above described necklace, though # only visible under black light. Above described necklace was formerly ET15411. Note: in addition to necklace described above, there is also a necklace of strung bird claws tagged as #22012. As the records for the Powell collections are very garbled, the decision has been made to keep both necklaces as #22012 for now. - F. Pickering 10-13-2004.
