Can you imagine?

Can you imagine digging in the dirt and having this little gem pop up? Talking about letting out a hoot...This little plummet is definitely my smallest..It definitely was not used as a weight.Not sure what it's made of but it is clay like...and I've never seen another one like it.mjm

No this was on a late archaic site..

Sweet! I still haven't quite figured out what kinds of rocks/lithic were used for tools. But I'm on the coast, so I'd guess it's a whole different kettle of fish, so to speak...

That is an unusual looking plummet. It would be my favorite one for sure.

That is awesome!

I’m fairly certain that was a counterweight the Indian maidens used when drying their pantyhose on a clothesline

Took me a couple of seconds to appreciate how really tiny that is...

Does look like pottery-clay. It’s interesting to think that someone took the time to shape-out a tiny plummet, when anything on the end of a string with a little weight would give you a decent tripod center-Mark.
The pointed end suggests it’s not a fishing line weight. It resembles a modern-day plum-bob. But, for what purpose?

I agree it wasnt used as a weight...but that point or nub on the bottom is also on larger plummets that I have found..
