Chong2, They were used as gaming stones and these type of discoidals date in the Mississippian time period. Check out www.lithiccastinglab.com for more info on Discoidals. Pete has a good explanation of the game, and dif. types as well.

Man you're getting a killer hard stone collection. I've still yet to find a discoidal yet.

Very nice bud.

Lets get together soon.

I'm laid-off so I got all the flint findin time in the world.
