4. Analysis of the abrasion characteristics of the material itself, that is the money bundle, may suggest the distance traveled and thereby give additional clues as to the source from which the material was derived.

Significant information may still be available at the site. If any samples were taken of material before the local sediment was disturbed, those samples would be very useful in any analysis. Also, photographs may be useful in reconstructing the depositional circum- stance in which the money materials were located. If not, the next time a discovery takes place, care should be taken to acquire the geologic information from the site before excavation takes place. In any case, investigation of the geologic circumstances of the money materials may yield the information as listed above.
