Description
**Originally Listed At $100**
Native American, United States, Archaic to Woodland period, ca. 500 BCE to 1500 CE. An interesting assortment of 20 stone, shell, tooth, and deer bone tools and artefacts. The 12 discoidal stone pieces are shaped like petite modern-day hockey pucks. The true purpose of such stones is unknown, but similar pieces have been found across North America. The smallest piece is a shell shard with sharpened edges that might be part of a larger cutting tool. The narrow, curved tooth is the incisor of a rodent. The two larger bone tools are perhaps awls made from deer bones. Three stones may be preforms for scraping or cutting tools and have flaked and smoothed surfaces. The largest stone is similar in shape to a gorget but lacks perforations. Size of largest stone: 4.25" L x 1.125" W (10.8 cm x 2.9 cm); Riker case: 12.125" L x .875" W x 8.125" H (30.8 cm x 2.2 cm x 20.6 cm)
