Hi Pam,<br>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. <br><a href="http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520271241">http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520271241</a><br>
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.<br>best of luck,<br>Amy<br><h2><br></h2><br><br>

<div>I'm wondering if anyone has heard of/has refs for any sites which feature shells and human burials. I'm looking for comparitive material for an Anglo-Saxon burial with an arrangement of oyster shells on the soil covering a human burial.</div>
