Axe, large scraper and some other thing

Here are a few more that my new found friend showed me.

The axe from Arizona and the other two from Oregon.... What do you guys/gals think of the stone with the groove?

Nice artifacts, that axe is fine...the other lithic may be a loafstone or net weight.

We have lots of those on the right in our area....different sizes also. We refer to them as "anchor weights" or "hide stretchers."

I'd say your piece with a groove in it is a Shaft Straightener.

Here's a link with some pics of some.

Here's just a few of our net weights, anchor weights and hide stretchers. The two small ones at the bottom are bolas stones.

Your friend has some great relics!

I think Steve nailed it. Some of these were used when heated to take kinks out of shafts. Can you tell what kind of stone it is?

Does the groove encircle the whole stone??

Hi everyone- was traveling and unable to respond- thanks for the responses...

TC... The groove on the stone is only on one side. I do not know the type of stone but it seems rather soft....



Thanks again!
