Fort Ancient artifacts

[newnan man]

These are from a Fort Ancient site on a creek that flowed into the Ohio River. The farmer had so many nice artifacts he found including shell gorgets & catlinite pipes. His grandson let me frame these and I've had them for 20+ years. Technically not mine as he can come for them whenever he wants. He did tell me after his grandparents passing the collection is missing!

It is a speckeld granite pendant. Very thin and well made. The gorget is made of Cannel Coal. I'll try to post a few more pics soon.

You can see how thin it is.
