An unusual shark tooth sword

[moose]

Thought I might mention that there has been evidence of shark tooth swords used by the indigenous peoples of the Midwestern States here in the USA. Cahokia Mounds, IL USA

Here's a link to the Cahokia Site and Museum.
A very cool place that I just visited again with my family a couple of weeks ago.

Here's a link to a good friend of mine. Larry is a avocational flintknapper like myself and student of History. He volunteers at Cahokia alot and has made some beautiful replications of the weapons found at Cahokia.

You can go to his home site and scroll down to shark tooth clubs if need be. http://flintknapper.nstemp.com/index.html

Here's a link to Pete Bostrom's site. This is some of the best reading on these sword clubs. Pete does some of the best Lithic Castings in the world. So he gets to see and handle all the best stuff the world over. I've been to his shop and it is truly fascinating. If Lithics interest you, take the time to view the rest of his site.
