content: A467650-C is written on 3 of the shell fragments and A467650-E is written on 2 of the shell fragments. The shells with A467650-C written on them were found mixed in with the ceramics cataloged as A467650-2, while the shell fragments labeled A467650-E were found with the squash knife, shell beads, and faunal remain fragment cataloged as A467650-4. The catalog card for A467650 lists shell, but until now shell was not accounted for in the catalog record in EMu. It is possible that this is the shell listed on the accession data catalog and catalog card, and when the items cataloged under 467650-0 and A467650F-0 to A467650F-3 the shell was not included and mislabeled. Since shell has not already been accounted for, it is believed that this is the shell listed on the catalog card and accession data catalog associated with B57. There is no B57 on the accession data catalog for the human remains. There is B57A-B57D. Burials 57A to 57D are associated with the human remains assigned catalog numbers P382994 to P382997. Burial 57 was a burial pit with four individuals. Burial 57 was a burial pit with four individuals.
