Comment:
Catalog card and ledger list this museum number as a shell pendant that is part of burial 22. The burial record (from ARF manuscript 35) lists only 5 pendants for this burial, which would equate to 1-29609 through 1-29614. Therefore it is unlikely this museum number was assigned to an object.
