Description-Abstract	Birdstone from the Glacial Kame culture of the late Archaic period is made of red and gray banded slate. It is flat on the base and the sides curve slightly to form a ridge in the midline along the top. One end is shaped to form a stylized head and neck, possibly of a bird. The other end forms a tail that has straight sides and is flat on top. There is a drilled hole at either end of the base, one of which goes through to the base of the tail, the other through to the base of the neck. Although the function of birdstones is unknown, they might have served as highly-decorative spearthrower weights.
