Description
Busycon contrarium has a wide distribution through both time and space
in Midwestern Archaeological sites. The areas of maximum occurrence
·for this shell are the coastal areas from Monroe to Gulf County along
the Florida Gulf Coast. The most probable source of this shell for
trade to Midwestern archaeological sites was the Apalachicola Bay area.
As this shell was traded inland to Midwestern Archaeological sites it
was consistently incorporated into a sacred class of artifacts. Its
utilization as a ceremonial vessel in busk or Green Corn ceremonies is
the most probable reason for its wide distribution through both time
and space in so many different cultures of the Eastern United States.
