My thought exactly. This reminds me of the recent article where an ancient shoe was found and they surmised it was probably used for foot protection.

In 1959, human remains dating back 13,000 years were discovered on Santa Rosa Island, one of the five islands that now make up Channel Island National Park. Back in those days, sea levels were lower, and Santa Rosa and its neighbor, San Miguel Island, were connected by land. The increase in sea levels is a problem for exploring coastal archaeological sites, Rick said, because any beachside settlements have long been swamped.

Rising sea levels in the past... NOT caused by man-made global warming.

From the link:

The San Miguel sites yielded more than 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of shell fragments. Evidently, the island inhabitants enjoyed crab, mussels and abalone, along with escargot — the remains of black turban snails were found, along with pitted stones likely used to crack the snails’ shells

That could have been just one good weekend outing for a paleo family.

I've been to fairly small parties (less than 50 guests) where seafood was served and there was much more than 22 lbs of shells in the dang heavy trash can when it was over.

I like to burn my seashells. Turns em to powdered calcium for the garden. Best do it in an incinerator. They pop like .22’s if you just put them in a campfire.
