Description: Beautiful 'Biscuit Style' Discoidal or also known as a 'Chunkey' Game Stone. Made of very dense and heavy Limanite. In use during the Mississippian Era (AD 1200 -1500) These were used in a game where it would have been rolled across a hard clay court yard and men and boys would throw spears at the spot they thought it would stop rolling and wagers were made to see who could win the bet. Early Europeans observed this game and wrote about it.
Provenance: Found many years ago on private property with permission on a gravel bar on the Ocmulgee River in Bibb Co. Georgia
