- Description: Very Large Kentucky Hardstone
Chisel - This Fantastic Chisel is made from Hardstone
and was found in Fayette County, Kentucky. This is one of
the larger examples that you will see from Kentucky. It
has near perfect symmetry and shape. The bit
is well made and nicely polished. (see photos).
The body still shows the "pecking" used to form the chisel and the Pole
does not show much of the common abuse that you usually see in these.
The bit has a couple of very small "chigger bites" like you see in these
that were used to work softer stone and wood. From the collection
of John Gibson.

- Item: HS188 *NEW* TOM DAVIS COA - G-10
- Description: Un-Finished Gneiss Banner Stone - This is an Extremely nice example of the manufacturing process of these Banner Stones. It is made of Gneiss, which is a metamorphic rock, and is almost completely shaped. The Pre-historic man had started drilling from one end using the "reed drilling" method which was done with a fire-hardened piece of Cane cut of just above the knuckle of one segment. In many cases this hollow segment of Cane would have been filled with sand which fed out and created an abrasive to help in cutting through the stone. The bottom of the drilled hole on this Banner Stone has the distinctive "nipple" which is a result of the "Reed Drilling" process. (see photos). This fine Banner Stone was found in Northern Kentucky along the Ohio River by Chris Crecilius. It comes with a Tom Davis COA grading it a G-10. From our personal collection. Monty & Jewdy Pennington

- Item: HS190 *NEW* TOM DAVIS COA
- Description: Very Nice Godar Type Drilled Hematite Plummet - This FINE Hematite Plummet was found at Poverty Point, Louisiana by John M. Stathem sometime in the 1960's. It is drilled at the top and well made. Tom Davis called this plummet a "Godar Type". Plummets are generally agreed to have been a type of "Bolo". Two or Three were tied to cord or leather a couple of feet or more from each other. They were thrown through the air at rising flocks of game birds. This was a very effective method of hunting these birds and a single throw had the potential to bring down several of its targets. This piece is from the collection of John & Robert Stathem of Shreveport, Louisiana. Robert and his father John hunted artifacts in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. It comes with a Tom Davis COA.

- Item: HS169 *NEW*
- Description: Limonite Boat Stone - This Very Nice Limonite Boat Stone is out of the
S.D. Dickinson collection of Prescott, Arkansas. It is labeled with Dickinson's # B-10. This item is listed in the Dickinson catalog as "Boatstone from Smith Graham Place, Black Bayou, Nevada County, Arkansas". It was then in the Scott Davidson Collection of Batesville, Ark. Limonite, which is "Brown Hematite" will break down from the inside in certain soils. This one has started the "scaling" that is commonly seen in Limonite pieces. (see photos). This is an EXCELLENT piece to study because of the great examples of "pecking" and "grinding" evident on it. Boat stones are rare enough and I have only seen two others of Limonite. Ex- S.D. Dickinson Collection, Ex- Scott Davidson Collection, Ex- Monty R. Pennington
