I've often wondered how (with a whole lot of patience) NAs drilled the holes in pendants and banner stones. Have been told that they probably used some sort of grit when drilling the holes in stone. Thanks for the insight on the cut marks on the bone. I'm always reading when they find bones at kill sites of the cut marks made with blades and stone knives which they usually they say were made by man.

I was going to ask about drilled holes! I want to share some up close pics and get some feedback...supposedly an 1890's ceremonial piece or more likely tourist piece. Plains Indians. Is this 1890's style or later? Thanks.

Bad pic...but you can see the drill ridges...seems more modern but not as modern as a mortar bit.

Another try at the pic... 
The horsetail, sinew, turkey feather remains are all real...I just think it was either for ceremonic purposes or tourism...my wife bought it for me but I've had suspicions that it isn't what they sold it to her as. They claim 1890's...ceremonial.

I have not ever seen an item like that, not sure what it would have been used for. The ridges in the hole look odd almost like it was molded that way. I can say it was not drilled from the photo. JMO

It almost looks like a stepped bit used for cutting out metal. Definitely a conically shaped hole. I was thinking old, 1890's or so, but probably for tourism/memorabilia. Not sure but others similar to it can be found on the web. I appreciate it.
