My cousin has a celt recovered by his great uncle from a field in Union County Tennessee Clinch river bottom. When researching it I found photos of an identical but damaged celt found upstream on the Clinch in Virginia

I visited Cahokia and was stunned to see identical celts at what were Cahokia Celt factories. these manufacturing shops made new celts and apparently repaired damaged tools as well. There can be no doubt that there was trade between the mountain tribes and the far distant Mississippi river tribes.

The cahookian and Clinch river celts look like this

bert, what is a celt of the type you post about? It looks like it could be a fishing weight. It’s certainly not a person of the Celtic persuasion....
