[Bonetools] shell/human burials

[Margaris, Amy V.]

Hi Pam,
One place you might look is in Lynn Gambell's 2008 book, The Chumash World
at European Contact: Power, Trade, and Feasting Among Complex
Hunter-Gatherers.
http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520271241
It's a great compendium with excellent references.  The Chumash were very
into shells (used for money and other purposes) so they might provide an
interesting comparison.
best of luck,
Amy
