Cowrie Shell
This small shell was one of a handful recovered in 2015 during an archaeological dig at the Old City Hall in Boston. Cowrie shells are specific to the Indo-Pacific ocean and were historically used as currency in regions of West Africa. Archaeologists often interpret these shells as a sign of African American presence and worldview when found in North America. From 1708 to 1734 the property held the schoolmaster's house for Boston Latin School and was occupied by Nathaniel Williams and his family, along with their two enslaved Africans named Richard and Hagar. While there are many possible interpretations for the shells, it is possible that they belonged to Richard or Hagar, and serve as evidence of West African culture in early Boston.Scanned by Brian Schools.

Spawning data for Tiger Cowrie and Arabian Cowrie
<p><span>The spawning and larval culture of cowrie (Family Cypraeidae) are both difficult and little known, in part due to the long planktonic period of most species. In this study, we describe the captive spawning behaviour and larval development of two tropical cowrie species, <em>Cypraea</em> <em>tigris</em> and <em>Mauritia</em> <em>arabica</em>. Both species brooded over their egg masses before hatching occurred and larvae were collected for culture under laboratory conditions. The brooding period for <em>C. tigris</em> was between 7 and 17 days, and freshly hatched veligers were approximately 200–240 µm in size. Cypraea tigris larvae were reared for up to 37 days in culture but did not achieve successful settlement. The brooding period for <em>M. arabica</em> was between 7 and 10 days, and hatched veligers were approximately 160–205 µm in size. The first settled juvenile <em>M. arabica</em> was observed at 70 days post-hatch. Our findings from this study represent the first comprehensive documentation of successful metamorphosis of Cypraeidae larvae, particularly <em>M. arabica</em>, into early-stage juvenile. </span></p>
