About 2.4 million artifacts were collected during excavations conducted by WPA workers from 1939 to 1942.
One of the most significant artifacts uncovered at the Angel site was a carved Mississippian culture stone statue of a seated man, which was found at Mound F in November 1940.
The fluorite artifact is 8.5 inches (22 cm) tall and weighs 11.5 pounds (5.2 kg).
 Similar rare fluorite statues have been found at the Obion Mounds site in Henry County, Tennessee and the Ware Mounds site in Union County, Illinois.

Mississippian tools and weapons found at the site were made of igneous rock, sedimentary rock (sandstone), slate, shale, diorite, or cannel coal.
Metalwork objects were very rare.
Based on research and artifacts discovered at the Angel site, it is believed that the Mississippians used bone fishhooks and nets made of cord to catch mollusks and freshwater fish (catfish and drumfish).
Spears with projectile points were used to hunt small game.
Antler, animal and bird bone, shells, and animal teeth were also found.

Of the nearly 2 million sherds of pottery found at the site, 4,569 of them were of the negative-painted type.
Textile patterns made inside of the pottery are a trait unique to the Angel site.
In May 2006, researchers discovered a probable pottery-making workshop at the site.
This discovery further revealed the artistic skills of the Mississippian culture people.
Pottery tools and masses of prepared, slightly-fired clay pieces were also found during the season's excavation.
It appeared to be a type of production-line process, with the works awaiting finishing and firing as bowls, jars or figures.
