=== Conch tools ===
Conch shells (pronounced as "konk", known as ''cobo'' in [[Taíno|Taino]]) were a hard material in plentiful supply on the islands. They included several species of conch, including the [[Aliger gigas|queen conch]] and the [[Charonia variegata|Atlantic Triton]]. Lucayans used them to make tools such as canoe gouges, hoes, hammers, picks, net mesh gauges, and fishhooks. They were also made into beads shaped like disks, carved into amulets, and used as inlay for sculptures.{{Sfn|Keegan|Carlson|2008|pp=3-5, 74}}

Trumpet-like instruments that were played by blowing were also made of conch. A specific term, ''guamo'', existed for trumpets made from the largest snail available, the Atlantic Triton. These were used, similarly to church bells, to call people into action as well as for religious rites.
