386 AUTHENTIC SHELL, STONE AND CLAY BEADS, 3 PENDANTS FROM EARLY ARIZONA COLLECTION

AT AN ARTIFACT SHOW I WAS ATTENDING NOT LONG AGO, A WOMAN WHO LIVED IN THE AREA CAME IN WITH A SMALL COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS SHE HAD INHERITED YEARS PRIOR FROM HER GRANDPARENTS. THE GRANDPARENTS HAD LIVED IN ARIZONA IN THE EARLY 1900\'S AND HAD SPENT MUCH OF THEIR FREE TIME SEARCHING FOR ARROWHEADS IN THE SOUTHWEST US AND IN NEIGHBORING MEXICO. IN THEIR LATER YEARS THEY HAD PURCHASED FROM A LOCAL DEALER A FEW STONE ITEMS AND SOME PREHISTORIC POTTERY FROM WESTERN MEXICO. MOST OF THE FOUND ARTIFACTS HAD BEEN CAREFULLY MARKED WITH A CODE AS TO WHICH SITE THEY CAME FROM AND THE PURCHASED PIECES WERE USUALLY MARKED WITH DATE OF PURCHASE AND PLACE OF ORIGIN. WHEN THE GRANDPARENTS PASSED AWAY, THE HOUSE HAD BEEN CLEANED OUT BY THE WOMAN\'S BROTHER AND THE FIELD NOTES WITH ALL THE SITE LOCATIONS HAD UNFORTUNATELY BEEN DISCARDED AS TRASH. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE A LOT OF PERSONAL FOUND POINTS AND OTHER ITEMS WHICH THE WOMAN CONSIGNED TO ME WITH NO EXACT PROVENIENCE. THIS LISTING IS FOR A TOTAL OF 386 BEADS MADE FROM SHELL, STONE AND CLAY, AND ALSO 3 DRILLED PENDANTS. I BELIEVE ALL THE PENDANTS ARE MADE FROM SHELL. ALL ARE GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE.
