Clinker (No. 1802). 

 Metal, miscellaneous : 



Iron and steel (Nos. 47, 48, 101, 104, 236-238, 241-243, 24.5, 246, 256, 277,

 Refuse bone (Nos. 37, 166-171, 200-208, 302-305, 332, 395-397, 511, 974-984,

 1812, 1813, 1832). Refuse bone obtained from the site may be divided into 

 two groups. The first is composed of the remains of domesticated animals 

 including beef, hog, duck, and goose — all doubtless food refuse — and domestic 

 cat. The second is composed of native species, many of which doubtless are 

 also food refuse. These include bison, deer, antelope, white-tail jackrabbit, 

 cottontail rabbit, skunk, raccoon, muskrat, Canada goose, great blue heron, 

 sage grouse, prairie chicken, crow, and egret. The duck and goose bones 

 listed in the first group are of unidentified species, probably domestic but 

 also possibly native. Identifications of all bird bones were made by Dr. 

 Herbert Friedmann of the U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. Identi- 

 fications of all other bones were made by Dr. Theodore E. White, formerly 

 of the River Basin Surveys staff in Lincoln, Nebr.
