This is a shot of much of my Hardstone from the Dakota's. Much of these are personal finds, some I have purchased, and some were gifts. There is a little bone in there as well.

Nice representation of Plains hardstone. The maul was certainly an important tool for the nomadic and semi-nomadic Plains bison hunters and you have some real nice examples.

The largest is on the center shelf, left side and weighs 13 1/2 pounds. I am not certain it is a maul since there is no use wear sign on either end. I think it is possible it was used to break ice, or something other than normal maul use.

I had it with me at Collinsville last year, and I wish I would have had the opportunity to show it to you then. If you were gonna make it to Mt Pleasant, I'd show it to you there.

Joel, I too can't make Mt. Pleasant, but C'ville for sure. Can't say I blame you if you come down, and don't really want to bring it with you, LOL! Have a good time though bud.
