- Lot Description
Native American, Southeastern United States, Florida, Marco Island, Archaic to Calusa / Glades culture, ca. 5000 BCE to 1750 CE. A fascinating collection of 19 stone and shell tools and ornaments made by coastal cultures of Florida. Included are five stone and one shell projectile points which include Bolen, Greenbriar, Culbreath, Broward, and Hernando types. The jewelry and ornamental pieces comprise of a bead made from an olive snail shell, a circular bead made from a creamy white shell, and two stone pendants with piercings at the top. A long narrow pendant is shaped from a columella shell to look like a tooth from a predatory creature such as a wolf or panther. In addition are several tools: a spatula, scraper, smoother, and awl. The spatula was probably used for shaping and smoothing clay for pottery pieces while the smoother was likely used for sanding arrow shafts. The cultures of coastal areas relied heavily on the resources from the sea. Shellfish were consumed and their shells were then fashioned into items - as exemplified with this collection. Size of largest arrowhead: 2" L x 1.5" W (5.1 cm x 3.8 cm); size of case: 12" L x 1.3" W x 8" H (30.5 cm x 3.3 cm x 20.3 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Charles (Charlie) Meyer collection, noted collector and famed illustrator for Greg Perino, famed authenticator and writer
