A perforated stone reported only from archaic sites in midwestern and eastern North America and having usually two symmetrical wings that was apparently used primarily as a weight attached to a throwing stick but doubtless had considerable ceremonial significance, having been often buried with the dead. 2, record 2, English, - banner%20stone

A specific type of oddly shaped weight, called a banner stone, served as a kind of silencer, stopping a hunter's prey from being startled by the sound of the throw. Normally, an atlatl makes a distinctive 'zip' sound when the dart is thrown. But a banner stone, extending sideways like wings on an aeroplane, again about halfway down the atlatl, seems to muffle this sound. 3, record 2, English, - banner%20stone
