Welcome back. What do you think the stone with the drilled holes is? I've never seen anything like it. Thanks
. There’s a lot of speculation about these pieces. Dr. Robert Bell, a well known archaeologist from the University of Oklahoma (now deceased) refers to them as “spindle whorls”, but he readily concedes most are not configured like a spindle whorl. Reportedly, some version of these have been found in drinking vessels as a filter. Some have one or two holes, most will have more. They are typically made of pottery material with the edges rounded like this one. Some suggest gaming pieces. Most are found broken. I think ultimately the jury is still out. My brother found this one along with the two Fresno points above it—beginners luck!
