Ontological Concerns Example 5, AMNH 1/1821
Bottle bannerstone; Mississippi, ferruginous quartz, h. 7.5, w. 5.9 cm.
With this quartz Bottle bannerstone (AMNH 1/1821) the original collector, W.H.
Pell, wrote their name and Miss. (Mississippi) onto the stone in black. The museum then added the catalog number in white onto the other side of the stone after it came into the collection in 1869.
