But there are artifacts found from the region that date back as early as 1400AD that are Cherokee...These are published museum pieces...so 1200AD is very close.
I am not sure what you mean by 'shell' vs 'mother-of-pearl'. Shell actually is 'mother-of-pearl'. Mother of pearl is (more or less) a fancy name for shell...
