My new field is turning up some colorful pieces. We're in desperate need of rain...no plowed fields around here have received a single rain this season. This spot should be killer once it gets wet. As for the piece I'm calling a pestle: I realize it shows zero signs of being worked. However, the end most definitely was used for grinding. It has great polish and was worn nearly flat. Further evidence I weighed: this was located in with the other debris, on top of a plowed ridge, and was the only 'river rock' in the area...verything else is shale.

Not sure how well it will turn up in the pictures. I know it's easy to 'imagine' such things...but in your hand, this one is a no-brainer (IMO...no offense if you disagree!).

Always a bonus to get some nice color in your pieces, especially in Southwestern PA.
