Endnote 22 – The Bat Creek Inscription: Did Judean Refugees Escape to Tennessee?

Two other artifacts, a silver brooch and a buckle in the shape of a shield, have sometimes been mistakenly associated with the Bat Creek inscription. These items were found in an intrusive burial in a different burial mound (#2), and so clearly have no connection with the inscription (Thomas, “Mound Explorations,” p. 392).
