a variety of Native American artifacts that I am not sure about

[IndianRiverSonrise]

I don't know anything about Native American artifacts. In the following pictures are some items. The vertebrae has a small hole in the middle. That might be natural or made. The one shell on the left is deeply cupped (does not show that way so much in the picture). I think it might have been used as a utensil. The flat larger shell I don't know about. The one shell with the v shaped notch, I am pretty sure was a tool. To the right of that, the next shell has a very sharp point on it. I think it was also a tool, maybe a punch. A couple of pieces of pottery, one of which I think is incised. Sorry, I didn't remember to put a ruler in the picture but I think you can use the key for size.The key and bell just happened to be in the picture, but if you have any comments on them, great.

In the second picture are some arrowheads (obvious enough) and a couple of bone points. I think that maybe the points were tools.

What do you think?

the vertebrae is a fish vertebrae the hole is a natural one.

The notched thing is a shaft scraper I think.. they would make the arrow round.

I'm far from an expert but I hope I helped.

The key may be for an early native american chastity belt.

We find stuff like that on the Savanah river. Must be the same people. Tony

Then the bell might be a warning system.

The bell is probably trade goods.
