lOKtl (b-1). During the fall of 1949 construction workers on the North Idaho Junior College campus in Coeur d'Alene unearthed one burial. Workmen turned over the skull and longbones and a large iron blade into a box, to the Junior College. There was some green patination on the back of the skull, as if it had been in contact with copper. The blade or point measured 13.6 in. by 2.9 in., and was slightly under 0.3 in. in thickness. It is reported to be a type common in the trade material in the Plateau. Position and orientation are not known.
