“Broken” shells sometimes artifacts! You must look, Jo! Look for shells with beatup bases and/or nodules, holes in body whorl, part of outer lip missing; look for bare columella and columella still with heads; look for just outer whirls with/without lip!
O heck, Jo, just bring back every shell will fit in car, and we’ll figure out if they had jobs later!

Arden Edwards of shell beads found in archaeological contexts. Necklace is made of various shell beads (olivella, conus, turret, clam). Pendant is a turret shell. Conus beads are spire lopped.

The unidentified material of the disk bead may be clam. It has been used to prevent the Turret pendant from falling off the necklace. Inscription: SH 56 Dimensions: Overall: 42.5cm (16 3/4in.)
