Thanks for any guidance you can provide. These two artifacts were found in the Syracuse NY/Onondaga Lake area. Is 'hammerstone' the proper terminology for the one specimen? Or 'pebble hammerstone'? I would say it shows flaking from repeated percussive blows...but that's just my guess. And 'Knife' for the other? This 'knife' is obviously a different stone than most of the points in this collection.....which I think are Onondaga gray flint.
