Found in trash pit. 1800-1900. Louisiana trading area. Indian, CW, Early settler

[dg39]

dgjr told me to do this. He wants to know what it is. Its a museum mystery. Found near Red River in an old trade area where Indian artifacts, CW, Early settlers and who know what lived.. From a trash pit dig. The pit was about 4 foot or more around and we have dug to about 10 feet and still uncovering layers.

1. It is brass or an alloy of some type. Most likely brass.
2. 1/2 to 3/4 inches deep in concave part.
3. 5-3/8 inches in diameter. Inside hole is not quite 3/4 inches
4. How long will brass stay in the ground and decompose.
5. Only one other probable piece was found. 1-1/4 inches long with "v" hatch marks. slight curve.
6. Large section has line decoration around concave side.
7. I don't think it is the obvious.

Any other questions. I'm sending in two sections.

dgjr wants to know, and so do I..
Have at it.

Wait,don't shoot!

I don't think it's threaded. Ithink the threads are on a bolt that pokes thru and has a round heavy washer between it and the socket.

DOC!! I need mediator quick, war is eminent, sheeeh and here I am a pacifistic SAINT. Obviously it is all due to a misinterpretation of a simple word and culture.
