Eroding Burials of Site 46SU3 2012

Summary

This collection is referred to as "Eroding Burials of Site 46SU3 2012.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter (0.25) of a linear inch.

The document collection consists of one Adult Skeletal Inventory form and a summary entitled Skeletal Analysis from site 46SU3, Eroding Burial Four. The documents were originally housed in an acidic folder within an acid-free box and were in overall good condition. A bone tool was used to flatten any wrinkles or creases. One document was bound by a single plastic paperclip, which was removed. The investigation also included an envelope from the West Virginia University, Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Medical Center, Morgantown, West Virginia, addressed to Dr. Robert Maslowski. This envelope was retained in the accession file, but was not assigned a scanned asset number.

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the finding aid, original investigation reports, and the scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include the document folder listing and the initial data collection. For additional information on these materials, refer to the finding aid.
