Collection of Mississippian stone artifacts, bone fishhooks, and shell beads

The Cahokians fashioned many tools and weapons out of local and distant resources. Tools shown in this image are knives, hooks, projectile points, an awl, a hoe, and a spud. Also shown are shell beads, and two chunkey stones (a round concave stone used in a contest in which players would throw javelins in anticipation of the where the stone may stop).
