content: Style: Columella Raw Material 2: Busycon Element: Spine fragments Alteration: Weathered Manufacturing Notes: One appears modified as it is evenly smooth and round in X-section and there are some extra incised lines which follow the natural canal for a little way down from the apex. Surface Modification: Incised on one near apical end - mirrors natural spiralling. Symbols: Spiral lines Residue: Thick brown crusty on one, others have brown sediment and residue inside apices and anal canals. Use Trace: All badly broken. One has outer shell of 1/2 apex intact, others have little or no apex present. Comments: Separated because of similarity in portion of shell present and in the fact they are all conveniently flat.
