8000 (none) 1928,1009.184 (none) Three silver cockle shells. One inside the other. The inner one shows signs of a red substance perhaps a pigment. Natural size.
8001A (none) (none) (none) Cockle shells. (A) [A and D] a pair, containing white pigment. (B) single shell containing green pigment. (C) [C and E] a pair containing yellow pigment.
8001B (none) (none) (none) Cockle shells. (A) [A and D] a pair, containing white pigment. (B) single shell containing green pigment. (C) [C and E] a pair containing yellow pigment.
8001C (none) (none) (none) Cockle shells. (A) [A and D] a pair, containing white pigment. (B) single shell containing green pigment. (C) [C and E] a pair containing yellow pigment.
8001D (none) (none) (none) Cockle shells. (A) [A and D] A pair, containing white pigment. (B) Single shell containing green pigment. (C) A pair containing yellow pigment.
8001E (none) (none) (none) Cockle shells. (A) [A and D] a pair, containing white pigment. (B) single shell containing green pigment. (C) [C and E] a pair containing yellow pigment.
8002 (none) 1928,1009.68 (none) Gold and lapis chain. A very fine chain of gold wire links. Six lengths of chain connecting 5 double conoid lapis beads. The chain is square in section.
8003 (none) 1928,1009.175 (none) Gold diadem. Made of fairly heavy strip gold, plain, but with a line of minute punctures along each edge.
8004 (none) 1928,1009.84 (none) Large ball bead of lapis with gold caps. Sphere with ribbed sides.
8005 (none) (none) (none) Gold ornament. A pear-shaped bead(?) pierced longitudinally, on which is perched a small bird apparently pecking at the fruit. In spite of the minute size the bird is well done and the eye and all the feathers are marked.
8006 (none) (none) B16889 Cylinder seal. Lapis lazuli. 2 registers: above, 2 seated figures, table and door. Below, 2 animals? Very deep cutting and most primitive style.
8007A (none) (none) B16770 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing]. [B] A copper pin 0075 long was corroded on the back [C] (as were many beads) but need not belong to it. The three are cataloged under the same number.
8007B (none) (none) B17462 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing].

8008 (none) (none) B16815 Lapis lazuli beads. A great number, all small, some minute. With lapis spacers for 3 parallel strings.
8009 (none) (none) B17622 White shell beads. All small, mostly minute: several thousands of them, with one white spacer.
8010 (none) (none) B17667 Beads. Carnelian. Mostly minute ring beads. With them a few small balls etc.
8011A (none) (none) B16811 Beads. Very large carnelians. Double conoids and one or two bugles. These were strung in 4 parallel strings [A-D] (one set made up with a similarly shaped gold bead) apparently with lapis balls between the carnelians, but this was not quite certain. [see also U.8017]
8011B (none) (none) B16805 Beads. Very large carnelians. Double conoids and one or two bugles. These were strung in 4 parallel strings [A-D] (one set made up with a similarly shaped gold bead) apparently with lapis balls between the carenlians, but this was not quite certain. [see also U.8017]
8011C (none) (none) (none) Beads. Very large carnelians. Double conoids and one or two bugles. These were strung in 4 parallel strings [A-D] (one set made up with a similarly shaped gold bead) apparently with lapis balls between the carenlians, but this was not quite certain. [see also U.8017]
