As such, in order for researchers of fishbone and shell to find this object, it needed to be classified as shell or fishbone. Therefore, It is now listed as "Shell\Shell, Unmodified\Unmodified Fragments." To signify this uncertainty in identification, this object is also listed as a related object with the other fish bone from the same provenience (see B1-1911.05).
