A KILLER North Carolina BannerStone

A 'KILLER' North Carolina BannerStone

This BannerStone was found on April 8,2013 in a plowed field, after a rain storm. This is
very rare to find one that in intact, most are broken at the hole. This one will never leave my collection.

I think they were just use for atlatl weight, but who knows what else they may have been use for. Some say the finer ones may have been a symbol of power or rank?

Yes i would agree that they had specific functional purpose. Like an atlatl wieght. Seems lke when ever the arches cant put a puzzle piece together they revert to the age old cerimonial piece, or symbol of rank, explinations.

I traded Gator this one a while back. I'm not going to say what I always said it was. I would like to hear what you guys think it is as well.

I never have found any thing remotely close to one. Unless that is a preform Gator has. I'm feeling left out. What is yours made if JG? Slate?

It is made out of that black stone they say is from VA area...idk.. but you rem that stone needle thing I found a few months ago? Its in the picture.. I guy told me that was the for from a banner stone after the drilled it? He said they used cane or bamboo or some sort of strong hollow reed, along with sand and water and drilled it that way. And the skinny piece is the rock core inside the reed after it was done. I have know idea if that really happened but it makes sense and that needle is the same exact material.

That's what I always thought. Gator mentioned the preform, and it sounds like a possibility. The polished stone of yours JG, is plentiful around here. I have an axe made of it.

These are some awesome finds. I found a small shaft like yours made of black slate and always wondered what it was. Thanks for posting.
