✅ SOLVED Help IDing American Indian Tool

[BillCall]

Hello all,

My father has been collecting for over 40 years and has found tons of your general arrowheads and rock tools but this item is a first. I searched the net as much as I could and found nothing to match it. It could be a specialized Pestle perhaps. This item was found in New Jersey if that helps also. Thanks in advance.

Welcome. It looks like a weaving or netting tool. Try posting over on the North American Indian artifact forum. They know their stuff.

Hello all...

Noticed this was your very first post - so, while you are waiting for member comments - allow me to say Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

mano it was used to grind dried corn into meal or flour on metate stone.

Welcome to T-Net a mano, or a roller pestle, and yes, the Native American Section would be able to give you more info.
