As noted earlier, other artifacts were found in the features and data based with the medium and larger glass beads. Three categories of shell ornaments beads, discs and pins and manufactured shell wampum were found in a number of features. Circular brass gorgets were also found. The associations of these artifacts with the major glass beads will be presented.
Figure 35 Shell Pin Associations illustrates the association of shell pins with the other artifacts and the major trade beads. Note the major glass beads are in sequence but the artifacts are not.

Shell pins were found in only three features (with medium and larger glass beads); however, the shell pins show a greater than 60% relationship to shell discs and IVA2. Based on the limited features, shell pins probably date with IVA2.
Shell discs were found in 12 features, much more than the shell pins, see Figure 36. Note that shell discs when compared to shell pins are less related to IVA2 and more related to IIA1/IVA1 and IIA/IVA Other. The shell discs probably appeared with IIA7/IVA7. Their tenure of use, as shown graphically, extends just beyond that of shell pins.

Shell beads occurred in more features, 17 total, than either shell pins or beads.
Figure 37 Shell Bead Associations are clearly related to IIA1/IVA1, IIA/IVA Other and IIB/IVB. Shell beads should be sequenced after the shell disc, perhaps beginning with IIA1/IVA1.

Figure 38 Brass Gorget Associations involve four only features. The gorget demonstrates relations to shell disc and shell bead but not shell pin, perhaps the pins and gorgets were sex preferred - female pins and male gorgets. The gorget adornment may have begun with IIA7/IVA7.

Figure 39 Wampum appears to have two periods of association - an early phase and more popular later phase. The later phase occurs with high WID and IA/IIIA Opaque associations.

Shell wampum was not associated with the other artifacts in this section - shell pin, shell disc, shell bead or brass gorgets.
