content: This set of beads, mostly dentalium shells, but also a few other shell and glass beads mixed in, was previously tagged as E115694. However, that catalog number is supposed to include only 2 dentalium shell beads, and indeed, exactly two of the beads are marked with that number. The rest are not marked with any number or other identifying information, and are presumed to be NOT part of that catalog number. Perhaps they were gathered into John Ewers's office when he was writing "Hair Pipes in Plains Indian Adornment", and while in proximity to E115694, were mistakenly assumed to be part of that lot. At this time, it is unknown whether they were originally part of some other catalog number, or beads that had detached from other objects in the collection, or beads that he personally collected.
