A few of my local finds

[drewa1977]

Before I became a teacher, I worked construction full time. On many jobs, especially in my home town I would find an artifact here or there. I am very interested on your thoughts on these and if you can help me identify.

By the way, all were found in southern ohio within a 2 mile radius of local mounds and ohio river

Sounds like where I live. Nice artifacts. Those holes look drilled!

The bigger stone with the hole is an atlatl weight, ball banner stone. You`ve done well!

They are definitely drilled, just have never been able to identify them or compare them with other examples.

Didn't know if the smaller one was some kind of bead. It is about the size of a quarter in diameter. The larger one is about fist sized if that helps

The spear is Adena. The other piece made of the same material is cool also!

Yup.. the projectile point looks Adena Mabey the notch base variety .. 3,000 - 1200 BP.
I belive the larger drilled piece is an atlatl weight like stated above.
Nice finds
