catfishon:
is that long pedistal grinding stone common to delaware ?
the reason i ask is i have one that also came from delaware. i traded a indiana hornstone arrowhead for it a couple yrs back ;D
the guy had alot of artifacts and told me to pick anything i wanted .
he just wanted something from indiana and i wanted something from delaware, and the long pedistal caught my eye right off.
all i have found here in indiana are only about half in length and are alot more bell shaped.
just wondering.
oh i also wanted to add the one i have also has a well worn spot where the thumb would have been placed when in use.

Intersting what you say Catfishion. How do you find it? Is it lying on the surface? Or do you look for special signs in the landscape, grooves or old fireplaces? If so it must be an untouched area and not a lot of visitors may come there. On the other way it may be not as old as the bronceage or stoneage in Europe. So these places may be easier to find .
catfishon:
i traded for it so im not sure how it was found?
i thought it was a surface find "plowed farm land" in delaware
here are a couple pics of it

Uwe, if I'm not mistaken, popular belief is that our(The Americas) stone age began about 12000 to 15000years ago during the Clovis era with possible Soulutrians(sp) thrown in. Our stone age came from Eurasia over the frozen Bering Straights and possibly Western Europe by way of Iceland. The European stone age goes back not in years but a few humanoid species. ;D
