| This solid quartz bird Figure
Stone (length 93 mm / 3.66") was examined by petrologist
and geology professor Dr. Eric Law at Muskingum University, and
determined to be of human manufacture. Quite likely this
piece, of very hard material, was formed first by bipolar
reduction then by freehand direct percussion. As is
typical of such figures, this one is provided with a flat base
on which it sits firmly upright. |

A quartz bird
with a quasi-human face (right profile) at the posterior end,
the classic and very common "janiform"
that has characterized such artifacts for many thousands of
years.
|
|
A flying bird in
quartzite(?) with a quasi-human face (frontal) on the wing,
classic bird-human imagery.

Large quartz
bird. |

|
Standing rabbit
in quartz.
|
|
A quartz chopper
(or whatever) bearing the classic image of a head
(left profile) emerging from the
mouth of a larger creature. This was recognized as an artifact/tool by a North Carolina state
archaeologist, to whom the imagery was also apparent.
Prof. Eric Law also verified human agency. |
