Bannerstone
Bannerstones are carefully sculpted stones created across the eastern United States between 6000 BCE and 1000 BCE. 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.)
