Man, what a time for the camera battery or charger to crap out. Not sure which. Plug in battery to charger and the led goes green, yellow, red. All in the space of 1 second. After a few hours the batt has a small charge, but not for more than a couple shots then auto shut down. Older Sony, don't know if it is worth keeping it up. Really need newer card with more space etc. which means new camera. expletive!
Sorry, got off topic. Here is a follow up, at least partially, to the last part of a thread that TN started on 2009 finds so far this year.
These were not this years so new thread. These are from a family multi-generational effort.
Wanted to show much more detail, but camera....well, you already heard the story.
Thirty7, in answer to your question about the size of this milling stone 22"x 13" x 4-6". It weighs about 50 lbs so it sure wasn't easily transported. Smooth on bottom (maybe they dragged it
)
Here it is again....with a few kitchen aids, from top L...pecked ax head?, small pestal?, a notched
squarish ax head?, 2 small pestals? bottom from L...hiik (heck if I know) light brown item appears to be a pipe bowl, but there is no exit hole for the stem, could just be a geofact along with piece next to it. Is the next a pecked ball, or a round Mano? then another Mano.
I put question marks after most as I am not an expert and am waiting for one to correct me.
Here is a much lighter weight metate that has suffered the ultimate fate, but not by me. It was found this way. has been used on both sides to the point it was just too thin. At the thickest point this Metate is only about 1".
Shown here are various Manos, a pecked grinder? (don't know what you call this type, the bell shaped one in middle) pestals worn with much use and a dang smudge of sweat on the lens! I hate it when that happens.
Thirty7, I know you are still waiting, it is probably nothing, but the pic you had at the end of TN's "2009 finds" thread...the 2nd from the end....the double round lobed object. WTH is it?
Never saw anything like that. And what do I find when doing a bit more shop cleanup yesterday.
Looks amazingly similar to your pic. Shape wise at least. What they were used for was probably much different. Who knows?
These are not two flat sides stuck together, they are one piece, either ground, or chiseled in the middle. However, they show no smoothing anywhere. (I have a back massager that looks somewhat alike, maybe after a hard day hunting and gathering...)
Coincidence? (insert Twilight Zone music here)
This has been a most enjoyable exchange.
Thanks TN Mountains for starting the whole thing.
