Mussel shell with single-beveled edge, in two pieces. Cutting edge is rounded in shape and has been bevelled. Outer surface of shell has been abaraded to be smoother. "SAJH24228" in black on broken surface of both pieces where they fit together.

Shell pendant, scallop, with two small holes at top. The shell is roughly triangular in shape, following ridges of shell to make two straight sides. "SAJH 44866" in black on interior (back) shell surface.

One modified shell bead, flat, circular, with a hole in the center; associated with 45KT20/434.1. The Field catalog Form associates this artifact with the grass and dung layer.

Three horse clam shells, each with a hole in the center. Original bag has note "In association with feature #3." Field notes from 7/25/68 by T. Bodine and G. Sturdevan describe feature 3 as a hearth uncovered east of the orginal pit, after the original pit was extended. On 7/24/68 a possible burial was uncovered in the NE 1/4 of the E 1/2 of the pit, which extended into east sidewall. To identify whether the remains were human, the pit was extended by one meter, with a 20 cm. balk between. The extension was designated as 0N 15W (A), and the balk was designated 0N 15W (B). Based on a diagram in Bodine's notes showing the relative vertical positions of features, feature 3, and therefore the three shells, appears to be in the upper portion of the 70-90 cm. level, while feature 4, the burial, is depicted in the lower half of the 90-110cm. level. In discussion with Megon Noble, it was decided that the shells are associated with the hearth, not the burial. Claire Wilbert 08/05/2009
