Those are fabulous Joshua! Can you share more info like culture?

[clovisoid]

Arawak/Lake Valencia culture of Venezuela.   The proper name in archaeology in the US is Tierroid.  The hallmark is the coffee bean eye.  They were kind of a regional player influenced by the Caribbean cultures to the North and East, and Colombian to the West.  1000 ad right through Spanish conquest.

Thanks Joshua. Those are some amazing finds.

It's fun.  I grew up field hunting in the US, so finds were few, far between and normally plow damaged.  Then you go to digging really rich sites and it kind of spoils you a bit.
These beads were a from a couple of passes up and down a sugar cane field.  Celts are also quite common.  If the country weren't so darn unstable it would be a paradise.
