Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist, Vol. 17: New Series Scattered throughout a wide range of archeological literature one finds mention, in random sentence or casual paragraph, of aboriginal uses of shell or of shell objects of aboriginal workmanship. The intent of this paper has been to consolidate these isolated references into a study source of this specific phase of aboriginal culture in Wisconsin. From the very nature of shell, being destructible in character, shell relics are rarely preserved from remote periods, and it is only by reason of their inhumation with burials that they appear among antiquities at all. With reference to the age of shell relics, W. H. Holmes, in a treatise on "Art in Shell of the Ancient Americans," states that "specimens obtained from the mounds of the Mississippi valley have the appearance of great antiquity, but beyond the internal evidence of the specimens themselves we have no reliable data upon which to base an estimate of time. The age of these relics is often rendered still less certain by the presence of intrusive interments." The abundance of lakes and streams in Wisconsin, teeming with mollusks, served as a source of supply of shell for the Wisconsin aborigines. Weapons, traps or nets were not necessary in the capture of mollusks; a stone to break the shell sufficed for all purposes. So man in his most primitive condition must have resorted to mollusks for the food which they afforded. In fact, clams were so major a part of the food supply of these ancient people that many writers refer to them as the "Clam Eaters."
