An array of beads and ornaments made of different materials, including polished bird bones ( right), an Olivella shell bead (bottom right), mussel shell disc beads (top, center), and disc beads of fossil crinoid stems (bottom, center). The perforated object at top left is made of baked clay and is probably a spindle whorl, suggesting that cotton or other kinds of plant fibers were woven at the site. |
