Found individually or all together?

All together over 80 pieces. These are the pieces I stabilized and a couple of close-ups

Those look good enough to wear as jewelry today!

I have found quite a few shell jewelry piles/caches before. Could be a manufacturing site.

1st photo all were found together, 2nd photo all found together, 3rd historic trade beads most all found together to include the broken ones in the first photo. I saw a guy pull our 100s of shell disc beads out of a sand dune no where near a site, and of a Casas site I think was dedicated to making turquoise jewelry they have found 1,000s of pieces most broken during manufacturing.
