Interesting find - good luck with the ID !
 
On picture 142, turn it 180 degrees. That little cut out if for your thumb. That is a well used scraper. I wouldn't go so far as saying Neolithic, more like native American in the last 200 years.

Sorry, not NA, poster is in Netherlands, not America.

the piece is extremely worn and wind blown but there are some worked edges on it as far as i can tell.

it was found in the river waal in the netherlands, it clearly has been transported from somewhere else.

first of all...no... but to suggest 200 years would produce THAT much wear is very uninformed. also... no one would bother making a "thumb cut out" for such an insignificant piece.
 
ya. Don't get discouraged, I know one day you'll find something good.
Well i did find this Trachyte canonball and it is confirmed by the The AWN – Netherlands Archaeological Association –. It has allot of battle scars and is no longer perfect round but you can still se some round features. It dates to the mid 14th-15th century
