I don't know anything about it.  However, I suggest you contact Dr. Patricia
Rubertone, Department of Anthropology, Brown U.  Dr. Rubertone has been
doing work in Roger Williams Park Museum for about 15 years.  Also-- if she
cannot help you, contact: Dr. Pierre Morenon (Rhode Island College) or Dr.
Shepard Krech III (Director, Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, Brown
University).

How did you get my name?

Good luck with your search.

Sincerely,

Mary Jane Berman
