Necklace, photo by Francois GohierFrom Scoggin's journal:

Ed uncovered some beads today, in section D-1, comprising what looks to be a string several feet long, placed in gentle loops along the bottom of a crevice between stones...It is possible to uncover the beads in a fine manner with a hand bellows so that sketches can be drawn. January 8, 1940

It took Scoggin and Lohr two days to uncover this shallowly buried necklace made of juniper berries and bird-bone tubes. Upon discovering that the original material used to string the necklace had disintegrated, they worked laboriously so as to be able to immediately restring the necklace as it had been originally constructed. The necklace was not associated with other artifacts. It measures 8.45 m in length, suggesting it was wrapped around the wearer's neck several times when worn. Berry and bone necklaces have been recovered from other sites in the eastern Great Basin, including one found at Hogup Cave, dating to 4250 B.C. Anthropomorphs (human figures) in rock art images, Fremont and older, wear what appear to be necklaces possibly similar to this one.

This artifact has not been dated.
