Celt and bannerstone

[tonykidd]

Found this greenstone celt and bannerstone yesterday. They both have a few defects but otherwise are in great shape. They both seem more utilitarian than the other more obviously ceremonial ones I've found in the same area.

These are a couple other things. That is a copper "sewing needle" to the upper left of the mortar. It's not just an awl, but has a slot in it for threading. The round piece of copper is a bracelet.
The bird's head pipe is made of stone. We have still found no pottery on the site, which is very telling.

Oops, forgot one thing. Well, two things. I thought this was humorous, and a stroke of good luck. We found two atlatl bar weights, one intact and the other broken. The broken piece was 10 feet away. As many broken points as I've found, I've never found the "other" half!
