Title A name given to the resource Ohio History Connection Description An account of the resource The Ohio History Connection (OHC) archaeological collection has thousands of indigenous bannerstones and bannerstone fragments. From the collection we selected 23 bannerstones, many of which had been uniquely drilled for reuse or restored in the archaic and historical periods. One bannerstone, a Double-Notched Butterfly type, had broken down the center along the perforation ridge and was repaired in the archaic period with holes drilled, one on each side of the broken flanges, to presumably reattach them (A 60/000059).  Two other Butterfly bannerstones were missing their thin-winged flanges, with edges smoothed out in the archaic period for reuse. Another miniature-sized light gray Butterfly bannerstone was also missing one of its flanges. Its remaining flange had an archaic-period drill hole for some form of reuse (A 5752/001274). The OHC also has several stones that were repaired with plaster in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when it was common for broken archaeological material to be “restored.” One notable example is a Lunate bannerstone that presumably had been broken in half at its perforation in the archaic period (A 56/000008). The missing other half of the bannerstone was replicated in plaster and carefully painted to match the original shape and slate banding of the archaic lithic. In the archaic period, it was common to intentionally break bannerstones before they were buried or cached. When unintentional breaks occurred, repair and reuse during the archaic period was also common. The practices and motivation for bannerstone repairs or restorations, whether in the archaic period or the 19th-20th centuries, reveal the vast differences of what these bannerstones meant during the vastly different contexts of their original makers and subsequent collectors. Many of the bannerstones in the OHC collection were made from shale, a common material in the region. The vast majority were made from banded slate, a material that would have been traded for and brought in from hundreds of kilometers away.

More specifically, bannerstones were made from the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic Coast and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. American Indians carved and drilled these stones to be placed on a staff (thus the name given to them – bannerstone – in early 20th c. archeological literature, where they were assumed to be banners or emblems.)

Lunate Material Please indicate igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, or more specific identification if possible. Banded slate Perforation Perforated, Partially-Perforated, or Non-Perforated Perforated Condition Whole, Broken, Fragment, or Preform Broken Find Archaeological, or Non-Archaeological Non-Archaeological Provenance/Provenience Greene County, Ohio. Brought into the OHC by Warren K. Moorehead between 1887–1895. Location Cache, Burial, Midden, or Other Other Color Light greenish gray with olive gray banding Width (cm) 12.4 Height (cm) 6.9 Diameter of Perforation (cm) 0.7 Depth at Perforation/or Widest Point (cm) : 2.3 Depth at Edge (cm) 0.3 Weight (g) 182.3 Notes This Lunate Bannerstone appears to have been broken at the center perforation in the archaic period and restored in the historic period using plaster and paint carefully applied to match the original shape and slate banding of the archaic lithic. Half the bannerstone is an archaic sculpted bannerstone, and half is plaster. The paint at one edge has worn off the plaster over time. 56/8 is written in black on the concave side next to the perforation.
