Prehistoric Sinagua Culture Olivella Shell Beads
Prehistoric Sinagua Culture Olivella Shell Beads, strung on thread measuring 18''L end to end, longer beads measure approximately .75''L, ca. 1200 A.D. and found in the vicinity of Flagstaff, AZ, FYI: ''The Sinagua were a pre-Columbian culture that occupied a large area in central Arizona from the Little Colorado River, near Flagstaff, to the Verde River, near Sedona, including the Verde Valley, area around San Francisco Mountain, and significant portions of the Mogollon Rim country, between approximately 500 CE and 1425 CE. Since fully developed Sinagua sites emerged in central Arizona around 650 CE, it is believed they migrated from east-central Arizona, possibly emerging from the Mogollon culture.''
