Found individually or all together?
 

All together over 80 pieces. These are the pieces I stabilized and a couple of close-ups

i would suppose you were into a burial without being aware of it.
 

1st photo all were found together, 2nd photo all found together, 3rd historic trade beads most all found together to include the broken ones in the first photo. I saw a guy pull our 100s of shell disc beads out of a sand dune no where near a site, and of a Casas site I think was dedicated to making turquoise jewelry they have found 1,000s of pieces most broken during manufacturing.
