That's one heck of a collection Don.
Zuma:
Thank you good buddy. I hope I see you soon.
I found this mortar with three pestle stones in
a NC peanut field

Pretty curious image
It looks like the grooves where made by hitting the stone several times with another implement rather than grinding
wonder why the used that technique
Zuma:
Glis, Pecking removes more material quicker. Used as an
intermediate stage when the final goal is polishing.
Here are various stone tools. Scrapers, saw, possible
potters tools, pendant, Chunky stone and a piece
from my buddies attic that may be Viking not abo(hole)

Zuma my mom found a stone once on the beach. It was kinda flat a circular. It had a perfect hole in it similar to the one you just showed. No one seems to know what happened to it. It was one thing I really would have liked to have gotten when my mom passed. Always wondered what it was. Wish I had a picture of it. This hole didn't have any tapper.
