These two shell ornaments were recovered from the 1993 Kansas Archeology Training Program field school at the Sharps Creek site. The ornaments, both now broken, were made from local mussel shell and have two drilled attachment holes. The Sharps Creek site was a Great Bend aspect (ancestral Wichita) village occupied during the Late Ceramic Period.
