content: Review of the catalog ledger suggests these beads may be from site R-34, Bei-tau, Shelter 1, Jar A, although there are an absence of ditto marks in the "Remarks" column wherein all other provenience information is given for the surrounding catalog numbers. Detailed cataloging in 2017 allowed for refined descriptions of the beads present. The total count is 10 beads. There are: 1 translucent purple (7.5P4/8) MP bead with a whorl design on both sides with the outer edge of the whorl broken off on one edge; 1 translucent dark blue (5PB2/8) If bead with 7 sides and 5 rows of facets, tapered at the ends; 1 translucent red (5R3/8) MPIIa faceted bead with 6 sides and 3 rows; 1 translucent teal (7.5BG5/6) IIa bead; 1 small opaque white (N8.5/) IIa bead; 1 medium opaque white (N8.5/) IIa bead; 2 opaque black IIa beads; 1 translucent dark reddish-purple (10RP2/4) IIf bead with 4 uneven, randomly ground facets; and 1 translucent dark reddish purple (10RP2/4) IIf bead with 6 uneven, randomly ground facets.
