i think if you found those in a group setting. Bead artifacts...
Really hard to tell without holding them in your hand, but to hazard a guess, I was also thinking that the one with the smaller hole looked to be part of a European pipe stem. The one with the larger hole looks to me to be possibly dense ceramic rather than stone, the type of ceramic sometimes used in electric insulators??
When would a European pipe stem be from, also the one you say is a European pipe stem is made out of bone, I tested to see if it would stick to my tongue, and it passed, also it feels like old bone, but then again old clay sitting in the elements would maybe pass the "tongue test", it would probably feel like bone too. Also, the one with the small hole is very light weight.
I think you are right on the big one being a wire insulator.
