I found this today and it's got me confused. As someone who digs a lot of holes often, I've never come across something like this before. Found on the north shore of eastern Long Island. I have practiced flint knapping in my free time and it seems to have a lot of similar characteristics to some...
First post newbie so not too confident.
Found in situ 2ft. Of water creek find.
looks like a flake axe that has been worked but not sure.

Doesn't look too hard ro replicate so any comments are welcome.

I'm not completely positive what they are but the smaller one, to me, resembles a sleeping bear or hybernating bear. And the big one seems to have a couple of small stick men carved into it
All found in Watchung Reservation, a group of three long low ridges of volcanic origin. Have found basalt in the area. Square one is possibly that that was utilized as a tool? Any thoughts would be great! Thank you!
