Here is a Tomahawk. Where I live Tomahawks were made for decoration purposes as well as battle items.

Quito suggested I start a new thread with this Tomahawk. I only showed the pecked and grinded side.

This is the pecked and grinded down side. Note the grinded down grey color

Here is the show side work was done but minimal compared to the back. The stone color is blue.




Here is the pecked and grinded down side of one from ancient point on the net. obviously not exactly the same but you can see the similarities of the dynamic.

Well I am surprised you put that thing up after all you've been hearing about your other rocks.
Here is the poorest example a Tommy hawk that I can produce. Note the actual use wear and all the features that make it recognizable as an actual axe.

I'd toss that thing you have into the rock garden.

Where I live you can find them all over the place on the ground and if you dig you'll find lots more.

JMHO - What you're showing is a natural stone. Doesn't mean it couldn't have been used as a tool or weapon, but doesn't look to be altered by human.

How much does it weigh? Haft that bad boy on a stick and swing it a few times, my guess is that you discover why it isn't an axe.

It's not made for use. I did explain that it is made for decoration. I know what it is also where I found it. Native americans had social classes. They also made very beautiful artifacts. You can clearly see that the backside was grinded down. It's okay though!

I appreciate the pic. I know what a grooved axe is. We don't have very many grooved axes where I live. I have seen a lot of artifacts I am going to school for anthropology I have a hoard of artifacts I can look at anytime. Natives lived here for 15000 years do you think the only type of axe they made was grooved. The reason you guys don't recognize artifacts is because you are to be busy analyzing each item to ones you have seen.

One day i'll show you a decorative 4 foot long pestle that was excavated from a dig by my professor.

As mentioned look closely at the backside of the artifact compare to the front. Plain as day. I did find one and I do know it for good reason. No offense.

The idea is to un alter the show side of the artifact as little as possible thus the reason you say it's a natural rock. You are being sincere I know. Just look at the differences between the pecked and grinded down side which is grey and the show side which looks natural and blue. Open the pics please. I know this may not sway you. I will try to stay patient and eventually I will post something recognizable and build credibility and maybe you might open you're mind a little and see what I am taking time to show.

I have a lot to learn. I have guidance and a mentor and maybe one day I can learn from you guy's on items you recognize and I don't know what they are.

And to all trying to reach out it feels good that people are trying to help I have always been fairly reclusive and although we are not on the same page I appreciate it a lot believe me. :icon_thumright:

No no no no no!!! Jamus, we have tried and tried to help you but you obviously just refuse to listen or to learn. That is in no way, shape, or form a Stone Axe, or as you called it by the antiquated term, a Tomahawk. I guess I just need to quit opening your posts and wasting my time.
