     This picture shows an excellent example of a Poverty Point culture animal effigy bead. It was found on a Late Archaic site in Louisiana near the Poverty Point site. This bead was skillfully crafted from hard stone by pecking, grinding, and polishing into the form of an owl. The beak, wings, and feet are well represented. It dates to sometime around 3,200 years ago.
