This exceptional Archaic period single-face quartz hourglass bannerstone
was found by Tim Jones in Van Buren County, Iowa on July 16th
2007. It is made of a beautiful ferruginous quartzite and measures
2 3/4” long by 2 1/4” wide. According to Jones, he was
in the woods riding a four-wheeler around ten in the morning
when he spotted a bright object in a ditch. When he went to investigate
he discovered this classic bannerstone. The hourglass bannerstone
is found throughout the Mid-West, from Louisana to Ohio in three
varieties; single-faced, bi-faced and a rare bi-faced style that has
concave faces on each side. The hourglass is considered to be
the final developmental pattern that arose from the tube bannerstone.
David
Lutz states, in his book The Archaic Bannerstone, that the hourglass
pattern dates at around 2000 BC. He further notes that it was during
this time that ferruginous quartzite began to be used in bannerstone
manufacturing and that the source of the quartz remains a mystery. |
