content: Original Catalog Number: 2761 Style: Braden B Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Body fragment Alteration: Weathered Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: Long bones. Residue: Yellowish residue inner. Comments: Tentatively assigned to Braden B because Phillips & Brown (Pre-Columbian Shell Engravings from Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma. Vols I-III. 1978: 151) say that bones aren't used elsewhere. Bones are plain and undecorated. Portions of 7 similar bones visible. They are naturalistically long, instead of shortened as in Phillips & Brown Pl. 68. Phillips & Brown 1983:A-1F is a similar fragment probably from same cup - they say it falls on Braden A to B boundary. This frag not shown in Phillips & Brown.
