crude but curious piece?

[snaps]

Hi All,
Well my wife found this while weeding( we had big gardens there and every time we tilled worked flint popped up) and never wrote this one off as natural.I think its chert but might be flint.With the hole going strait thru and the flat bottom it just looks functional? Thanks for looking

Afraid I'm not seeing any work or alteration by man but yet another product of nature's hand.

Natural rock but everyone here would pick it up & give it a look.

Thanks Guys! Well even if it is nature-made, its staying in the collection as a tool, cause theres no way somebody wasnt using this for something. I might even run sinew thru that hole an put it on my Atlatl!

I’ve found and posted finds like that before. Try looking through the hole at your tv. My theory is they used them for something vision wise, but only a pet theory.

I have found several pieces just like that on Ft Ancient Village sites. None show any evidence of usage on them but they were probably brought to the camp as oddities.
