content: Luster: LS1 Element: One end Alteration: Reconstructed Manufacturing Notes: Drill hole at other end is .72cm in diameter. Tube was polished, but the surface is only visible where there is no fiber/shell residue. Surface Modification: Polished Residue: Basketry impression and shell residue. Although not thick, it does cover much of the piece. Comments: Basket splints are .35-.39 cm wide and the longest is .72cm long. There are 10-12 spots of basket fiber adhering. Part 1 of 2

content: Style: Irregular Disc Raw Material 2: Unknown Luster: Dull Condition: Cracked Manufacturing Notes: Tool marks along sides. The workmanship looks like woodcarving, however, the raw material is dense and heavy. Ends are ground very smooth. Surface Modification: Ends ground, sides hewn. Residue: Ocher. Some matter adheres to one end. Comments: Dont know how this might go with its companion tube, although they are similar in diam, w/ bead being smaller. What could be the function of this bead if not as a bead? Tapering sides results in a cone-like bead form. RETURN TO EXAMINE BASKET IMPRESSION. Part 2 of 2
