✅ SOLVED Stone tool? Please help Identify

[sgreene13]

Hello,
Please help me determine if this is a stone tool. I found it in central Bucks County PA. It may be argillite. It is made of a material that seems common in the area. The geologic formation in the area is Lockatong Shale.

It is hard to tell from the pictures but it is tapered on all edges, like some kind of cutting tool. I think the edges are worked. Any help is welcome.

Thank you

Hard to say, but I would give it a fare possibility as being an artifact. Maybe a hachet head but I can see other saying it's just a rock also.

A hide scraper ?

 

[sgreene13]

Thank you. That suggestion led me to led me to a number more pictures on the web that look similar to what I have.

Are we solved then ?

I was going to show it to someone locally. Will post the verdict.

Thanks

No, it's not a hide scraper it's a Jesuit stone. It will look like an area around there. I can see their work on it. The end of it at the one is the bottom. It's made to look like a scraper maybe but has another use. I will show you in a pm. What I mean.

Can you explain any further? I've never heard that term before, and my grandfather collected stone artifacts.

Looks like it was "worked" to me .

I was told it's a woodland period hoe. Thanks for all the input.
