Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: Ogee w/ streamer, snake, bird, concentric circle, concentric rectangle Residue: Blob of dark yellow grainy stuff inner, red flaky residue on much on surface, esp on 448870 frag, but also on the other. There is something stuck to outer surface on apex & a single red hair > 2 cm long is stuck into a groove on the apical portion. Use Trace: Residues Comments: Treated by Joan Gardner (conservator), so I don't know what effect this may have had on the pigment traces. Anyhow, this looks like it might have been a painted shell, which is rally interesting. The larger frag is 423265.
