    A few Pestles?

    I found these in one spot. I believe some are bell-shaped, some are Conical-like. Could be a couple hammerstones in the bunch. The pics aren't the greatest. Eventually I may focus on individual ones. Comments?

    There might possibly be a Hammerstone or two in there, but for the most part they are just plain rocks. I don't see any that might be a Pestle.

    Here are a couple of Pestles so you'll know what to look for in your future hunts.

    I don't know .... there seems to be a mano in there. A closer pic would be nice. It's the red one towards the top left corner. 2 from the left ... 2 down.
    I learn by experience and my own reasoning ... not by indoctrination !!!

    lik--Thanks for response--Are you talking about the one that is 'like a triangle'? I'm severely color blind and do not see any red ones. LMK, and I will get a better pic. Also, I get really confused with the terms,,,,,mortar, metate, mano, muller, Can someone give me a quick way to differentiate. TIA

    Here's a little info Shemanese The first pic is a Metate which is the large stone and the Mano which is the small stone.
    The second pic is the Mortar which is the bowl and the Pestle which is used for grinding & mixing.
