38 Native American Calusa Shell, Coral & Stone Tools

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Native American, Southeastern United States, Florida, Marco Island, Calusa/Glades culture, ca. 500 CE to 1750 CE. A fascinating assortment of 38 artifacts from coastal Native American culture. Included are coral, shell, and stone pieces that were used as tools for fishing. The shells with perforations were used as sinkers or weights for nets. The disc-shaped piece of coral with the central perforation was also probably used as a net weight. The flat shells could be used as scraping or digging tools. The Florida coast was conducive to fishing with rich estuaries, bays, and marshes. It is likely that 90% of the indigenous people's diets consisted of fish and shellfish. After the contents were consumed, the left-over shells were turned into tools, jewelry, and beads. Shells also played an important part of trade with tribes that were inland. Size of case: 13.125" L x 2.125" W x 14.5" H (33.3 cm x 5.4 cm x 36.8 cm); largest pottery piece: 2.25" L x 3" W (5.7 cm x 7.6 cm)
