Burnishing tool

Good stuff As far as lithic material did make it into South Florida. but it had to be brought in. I have some super nice points and artifacts made of Flint/chert, agatized Coral and they actually did make some nice stuff from shell.

I'm not sure how the picture looks but the flattened part is polished smooth. I would imagine hide was probably the final stage. sanding stone might have been a better choice of words

 

[GatorBoy]

There is nice stuff down by me.

 

[natchitoches]

agree
i have done a lot of Burnishing in my life.
i have worked with clay at less 40 years

Gator, just a reminder.... Posting artifacts like mine is not seen as a virtue on here. But, man oh man do I have twins for almost all of that stuff! I'm serious!

People wouldn't even look at my first 15 post. Lol! Heck, I thought I had found the answer to all my questions. I guess I did, "rock" " geofact" "headbang"

Gator, on your shell napping tool and your pestles, where are the signs of tooling? I ask because I have 2 pieces really close to your shell napping tools, and 1 almost identical to your pestle. The 2 " napping tools" of mine, I think look pecked all over. The " pestle" that I have was kept because it was the only stone of that type in the area. Well, only one I have seen in that area. Just wandering what made you decide those were, in fact, tools??

Gator, on your shell napping tool ........ shell napping tools," napping tools" of mine,

Oh, the N threw you off. My bad! Well, really spell check's bad! Makes me mad, this thing doesn't even allow me to screw up on my own. That's one thing I do well. Apparently not well enough.
