anyone know what these are?

All of these stones are a coquina type stone that came from the same coastal site. They all have been altered from their natural shape..some more than others. Grinding is visible on all edges.

These are just rocks to anyone who doesn't live in FL Every one of them is a tool, all found on one midden site. I am very happy that others did not "see" the artifact, just the rock. They did not see the wear/work. I did.

Tom, I’m happy you’re happy with finds that you interpret as tools due to their context, wear and work.

There may be some wear on those rocks but any other human modification is not real apparent.
Aside from your word concerning context what is the archaeological value of these specimens?

I was referring to my items on my thread. Possible pottery tools. The value of those is ... considering the number of them in this one particular area,and the absence of them on the mainland..oh did I mention that it was an island site..that there may have been a sepprrate band inhabiting the island. I could tell everybody alot more about my region if anyone wishes. I have alot of experience doing more than picking up things.

I understand Gator.

I was replying to Tom's post and his aluminum pan full of "artifacts".

I like the pan. Looks like my display case. I did have a brown paper bag for an outside case until the last rain. Gotta find a new one!

I was wondering seeing the artifacts posted look to be smoothed by human hands that GB has posted...could they be preform pottery pendants? Pendants that arent drilled yet is my question?
