Notes

RESEARCH NOTES: THIS ARTIFACT IS COMPATIBLE WITH CONFUSION REIGNS, FIRSTLY, A TIME BEATING STICK IS LISTED UNDER THE APACHE TRIBE, BUT HAS THE NUMBER INCORRECT 5468, WHICH IS A VIOLIN. VERN THORNBURGH CALLS AN ARTIFACT A TIME KEEPER, BUT HARRY CORRECTS HIM. THE "TIME KEEPER" IS ALSO LISTED AS BEING TAOS, NOT APACHE. I FEEL THAT A COUPLE OF ERRORS WERE MADE, INCORRECT NUMBER IN THE INDEX AND INCORRECT TRIBE DESIGNATION.
