Has note An Item (Object) is a single object contained within a finds bag. Item numbers are assigned to finds that have been removed from a finds bag for further analysis. For example, a ceramic sherd that was removed from a finds bag to be drawn and/or photographed was given an item number. Similarly, a particular bone or lithic that was removed from a finds bag for further analysis was given an item number and was subsequently identified by that item number. Most small finds were assigned item number "1," since they were usually the only item in their finds bag.
