Native American Archaic Banded Slate Bannerstone

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Native American, Eastern United States, Eastern Woodland, Archaic Period, ca. 5000 to 1000 BCE. A great example of a hand-carved bannerstone made from a pretty, banded slate. This bannerstone exhibits a prismatic shape with a thick cross section that is hand drilled through the center for suspension. The slate has pretty coloration of beige, gray, and black veining, which is polished with a smooth surface, especially around the perforations. Size: 2.25" L x 1" W x 2.8" H (5.7 cm x 2.5 cm x 7.1 cm)

Bannerstones remain an archaeological mystery. For many years, inspired by research done by a former physicist, archaeologists believed that bannerstones were used as weights to give atlatls greater power and control. Later experimental archaeology proved that this was not true - but did open the possibility that the bannerstone helped with fatigue when holding an atlatl still, while stalking skittish prey such as deer.

Provenance: private Kansas City, Missouri, USA collection; ex-John Townsend collection, formed in the 1970s and earlier
