content: E129844 is identified in the catalogue as tools for digging clams. E129845 is supposed to be clam shells. However, as of 2011, only two bone objects have been located numbered E129845. It appears they may also be tools for digging clams, and may perhaps belong with # E129844? P. 183 of United States. Commission to the Madrid exposition, 1892., and United States National Museum.
