one of them rocks

[mainejman]

I was able to get out and do some scratching yesterday.Along with a small pile of pottery.I found a couple stone pieces.The rough one is a type of celt or daze.This other piece is anybody's guess.Its a very smooth and uniform in shape.It measures 4 3\4" long 1 1\2""wide and a 1\2 thick.It has turned very black from handling it.I'm not sure of rock type.Its definitely a something. I've never found one in 5yrs of digging this site.Any ideas.

I would need a good clear dry pic of the stones to know if either one are something. The real smooth one has the shape of a pestle but wont know until I see a dry pic.

Nice pestle.
I don't need any other photos.
Nice finds all of them.

Hmm, I can see everything but pestle. Looks like a very nice smooth rock for sure, and surely could have had a used for something since found on a known site. But I don't see anything indicating worked by man into specific tool. Just my ho.

Heres my first found artifact. A pestle.

Very good finds

Thanks rack .Yes I have a pestle also.This is more on the lines of a sharpening stone or something.Not bell shaped round or flat on either ends.

Just a thought... a roller pestle was used horizontal and "rolled" across the material.
It wasn't used on end.

He must not have looked much.
Your photos look like a classic roller pestle.

Sorry my first pics didn't show enough.There just ain't no rolling this. She's flat.

 

[GatorBoy]

That's another type.
Sorry to be persistent but I'm going by known examples.
Here is a good list of pestles..your flat piece is in here also. (Type D)

Well I can't argue with that.Just when I think of pestle my piece don't come to mind.It seems to lite and almost to uniform.Thanks for your input gatorboy..

Well after looking at the new pics I will have to say river rock. Next time post more than one side.

 

[mainejman]

Hey rock not gonna argue about it being river rock.I totally agree.But it had a use.Everything I find is usually about the same.This is the first piece I've ever found like it.Its guilty by association.......

 

[mainejman]

This is what I mean by guilty by association.These are from the same site .
