These bracelet fragments were recovered from an archeological site in Morris County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2020. They are made of brass and are decorated in a variety of lines, no two exactly alike. The site had multiple occupations from the Archaic period (8000 to 2000 years ago) to the late 1800s and was one of three large Kansa sites along the Neosho River occupied during the mid-19th century. These bracelets date from the Kansa occupation.
