Pendants
Researchers found three pendants at the Tchefuncte site, one made of a black bear canine tooth (A), one of a drum fish bone (B) and one of shell (C). These pendants may have hung on string or on leather strips. They were suspended in different ways. The bear tooth and drum fish pendants had a hole drilled in the top of each. The shell pendant, on the other hand, had a groove cut along its top end.
