Is this an Indian artifact?

Friend of mine found this in a stream In the woods in northern Wisconsin. Any info on it would be greatly appreciated!

To be honest I don't know. Have you found any other obvious artifacts in the same area?

 

[Treasureman25]

Not yet. Headed back soon to look though !

What do you think it’s made of, ?

 

[Treasureman25]

Some sort of stone?? I have no idea really

That's called a biscuit stone. Maybe they were making a discoidal and it wasn't finished. Gary

 

[Treasureman25]

Any idea how they got the center to change color? What’s a discoidal??

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Discoidal is a round stone used in betting game. Some people think biscuit stones are unfinished discoidal stones but no proof they are or aren't.

Here is chunky stone



Here is picture of stone artifact found in Oklahoma of a figure playing the chunky game.
