On one edge are nicks or tally 
marks such as often are found on 
ceremonial objects. 
Four small ornaments of shell, 
found lying together with a burial, 
are shown in Fig. 20. 
A shell, a young Fasciolaria 
gigantea, ground smooth over its 
entire outer surface, has a round 
hole on one side for suspension. 
During the second investiga- 
tion were found in the sand and in 
the shell deposits the usual ham- 
mer-stones, hones, flakes of chert, 
parts of arrowheads or knives, and 
fragments of “celts.” There were 
also two small balls of stone and 
half of a bar-amulet of slate. 
Four “celts” were found, the 
largest having a length of 6.5 
inches. These were presented to 
beads and four large shell beads, also with 
burials, were the sum total of our discovery in 
the way of ordinary beads of shell. At our 
first visit to Crystal River this dearth of beads 
was noted and commented on. 
Shell hair-pins, as before, were conspicu- 
ously absent. 
An object of shell of eccentric form and 
problematical use, found by us at the time of 
the second investigation, is shown in Fig. 19.
