    2 axes, 1 adz, 1 bannerstone.......










    I found these artifacts in the last 2 weeks here in the cornbelt. Bannerstone is unfinished but has the raised barrel in the center pecked out. Also found quite a few nice points.

    Nice finds Mr Johnson. You are slaying them again this year, aren't you?

    Wow! I wish I lived in your area! Some outstanding finds there, love the pics and that unfinished bannerstone.... I'm speechless. It's the only one I've ever seen in my entire life-

    Hey Dorkfeesh! Not doing too shabby but any seasoned hunter knows that can all change no matter how "lucky" or "artsy" they seem to be.

    I wouldn't think that you'd see many in Wisconsin but at shows in Ohio and Indiana they are fairly common to see. I reckon i've seen a few hundred like this in various stages of manufacture. A certain raging imbecile on this forum, who's been banned on another that I visit, sent me a message posing as someone else stating that it was just a piece of slate and nothing more.


    Here is the very first bannerstone I found back on February 17, 1998. Since then I think i've found fourteen broken or unfinished and of those fourteen i've found two that are complete.

    You've seen hundreds like those? Wow. I've seriously only seen a handful of completed ones from wisconsin and never an unfinished one. Then again I don't go to shows either-

    Pleading ignorance, what precisely is a bannerstone?

    There is no precise answer. With over 30 different styles it's hard to imagine them all being used for the same purpose. Some were atl-atl weights the others it's anyones guess.
