Many Mississippian tools are made of stone. These fall into two broad classes, flaked stone tools and ground stone tools, depending on the manner of their manufacture. Other stone artifacts, called manuports, are not manufactured, but rather are natural stone brought to a place for a particular engineering or construction purpose. Stones that brace building posts or flagstones forming a path are considered manuports.
Common Mississippian flaked stone tools includes the Mill Creek hoes, small and finely made dart (arrow) points called Cahokia points, drills, knives, various types of scrapers, and utilized flakes. |
