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.)

Notes
This is a monochromatic finally polished stone common with Shield-shaped bannerstones. There are chips at either edge of the perforations. On the front of the stone to the left of the spine there is an incised image of a seated person wearing a hat with the initials “D” and “s”. To the right of the spine is a large fish. On the back of the stone an anchor is incised. These incised markings are not Archaic in nature. They would have been added in the19th century when most bannerstones were found in the land by settlers.
