Abstract
A group of thirteen fragmentary and complete shell and bone rings was excav ated at Sharm, including one example likely to be a bracelet. The function of the objects as rings is undisputed. A number of the rings appear to be m anufactured from Conus sp., whereas the remainder are apparently made from bone.
