content: Original Catalog Number: 2629 Style: Unengraved Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Complete except for columella Alteration: Weathered Manufacturing Notes: Ground at columella terminus. Outer probably ground. Surface modification: Smoothed Residue: Small spot mound sediment inner shoulder Comments: Would say its a possible source for a columella pendant except that the stump of the 1st inner whorl is present and appears to have been cut. Would expect no trace of columella if shell had been used for pendant.
