Example 2, AMNH 2/2205

  • info AMNH 2/2205

Southern Ovate bannerstone; Georgia, medium to coarse-grained alkaline igneous, h. 11.5, w. 10.3 cm.

AMNH 2/2205, also a preform from the Southeast, found in Habershan County Georgia, is a Southern Ovate, partially perforated at the spine from one side with a visible nipple evidence of cane drilling. The medium to coarsed-grained igneous rock is left unpolished just as the Ovate form and the perforation is left unfinished. Many igneous rock preforms in similar condition have been found along the upper Savannah River pointing to a possible trade route for these specific bannerstones.
