Photograph caption reads: "Burbank resident has 30,000 arrowheads and 100,000 stones ... The first arrowhead Paul Knapp ever found was buried in a skull. Knapp was 11 years old then and was helping his father remove a tree stump from property on Buena Vista street in Burbank. The skull was apparently that of an Indian who had met a violent death. It was wedged in the roots of the tree stump, placing the time of the death at several hundred years ago. The find started Knapp on a lifetime of collecting arrowheads and his hobby has grown to include an estimated 30,000 points of all shapes and sizes." Photograph dated: Oct. 31, 1960.
