These three beads, each manufactured on a different material, were excavated from a Great Bend aspect village site in Cowley County during Phase IV archeological investigations in 1995. The site had been much impacted by a water line, golf greens, roads, and highways. Excavations had been occurring at the site since 1916. One bead was made out of a crinoid fossil, perhaps found locally. Another is a white barrel shaped trade glass bead. The final bead is flat shaped and made of turquoise from the southwest.
