Petersen as Calocasin (Dasheen) [presumably Colocasia, a.k.a. Taro or Dasheen]. This was picked up in a remote camp in the Everglades where the Seminole had these for use. [This part applies to E363853]: The turtle-shell came from the refuse heap in the village at Dania - these turtles are commonly eaten by the Seminole."
