What are these?

[Sheperdess]

I found these on the hill where I find the Indian beads. They measure 3/4 inch long. And they appear to be broken off on the one end.

The small white things look like marginella sea shells. They were used as beads. Are they open on the back side? The ones that i have found have a hole ground thru the end or side of the shell. The string would go in the whole and out the natural opening. steve

No they are not hollow. And they are way, way, way too small for a boar tooth. The red items are 3/4 of an inch long. The small shiney seed items are compared to a toothpick in the second picture. Renee`

Here are some of the other things I have found in the same spot. I know the picture is blurry, sorry.

Hello Sheperdess, I can see that the broken ends would not match up but what if the 'middle' was the broken/ missing part? Does it look like the two pieces could have been 1 piece with the missing piece making it a whole something? Maybe some kind of weapon or spear?

If it isn't mineral/ metal, then the other options are animal or vegetable or plastic(ugh). I just can't believe it would be animal with 'ridge line' running down the length and being pointed- not like any bones I've seen and I hunt for food- in season. (goberment rules-you know)!!! BS

Maybe the State Archy could tell me what it is made of. He is at the present looking at the iny braided article in the last picture. I think it is wool, but I am not sure. Very odd for it to survive the elements for so many years.

Since you found preserved fabric could the red things be seed pods of some sort maybe?

 

[Sheperdess]

I really don't think they could possible be seed pods. But you guys got me to thinking they could possibly be a hard rubber? They are awesome little things, whatever they are a part of.

I am seeing shells and claws

 

[Sheperdess]

Would claws be the red color??

And what kind of shells??

I am curious..
