A Lead Object From the Eaton Site
Summary
In 1979, archaeological field school students recovered a small lead object from a 2 m x 2 m excavation unit at the Eaton Site. The object remained in a bag of chert debitage until 1994 when its resemblance to a human incisor was noted. This paper briefly describes the historic components of the site, describes the object, and advances four hypotheses regarding its possible function.
