Oh wow! Now it's really a heartbreaker.

Really looks like a roller pestle to me.
That being the general term with some of the flattened out varieties referred to as the elongated plane type

Yes, looks like a good possibility and you live in that region of the country (right?).
The Peter Bostrom site always has great pics. with interesting history in it.

A roller pestle is able to roll hence the name .

Cool link! I've never seen those clubs before. Nice weapons! I'd re-search that area looking for the rest of it just in case.

Like I said..that's just the generic general term...there are flattened varieties that were pushed like a plane...hence..the term I used "elongated plane variety"
See the one on the right?
I wasn't just making something up

yes, this was found smack dab in the middle of the culture area. It has the diamond shaped cross section, 4 flat sides and a rounded tip all in keeping with the design. It is also the right size and material. I have been searching for a roller pestle with a similar diamond cross section profile but can't find one yet.

I found something along the lines of the diamond shaped cross section earlier this summer but when I posted no one replied so I assumed it was a geofact even though it appears too geometrical to be natural. I thought it might be a file or abrader of sorts. I'll post a couple of pics and you all tell me.
