How many do you need to keep

[CreekSide]

Well I’m starting to be more selective on these types of artifacts. I’ve found a few over the years. I am still looking for better examples for my frame and will trade the ugly ones out as I find better ones. I haven’t found any hard stone yet this year. On the table I have nutters, grinders, divot stones, Celt pieces, handheld small metates and some idk but show work and probably some anvils. In hand is my best net weight
Some Hoes in the frame to.

I know the softer abrasive stone like sandstone, schist and limestone were used to make "marbles". The Cherokee still make stone marbles to this day using the same method. I would bet they used them to round anything that needed it

Interesting I never would’ve guessed

Several items in your first pic appear to be preforms for celts or pendants. I keep everything that's been worked on.

Very well could be. All the hoes were found in the same area as the brown Celt
