I need to know, what do it be?

Ok, I hope I got this right (adding an image).

I found this in Northern Indiana...not at a lake...inland. I've shared it with our center for history and they haven't a clue, well that's not entirely true as the gal *thought* it *might* be a lead paint stirrer. I'm not feeling that...but what do I know?

I'm referring to the phallic symbol thang...not the rock with the round metal piece (but I do find that one intriguing!)

So...what IS it?

It could be many things, a hide tool for removing a critters hide, dehairing it, and working the fat from off the inside of the hide, or a tool for breaking open nuts, and it could be a pestle. Those are three things that come right to my mind, I'm sure their are others.

Looks like a celt to me!

Is it broken on the larger end of the piece? It could possibly be half of a Ceremonial Pick.

Dang!!! He beat me to it!!! Thats what I think too!! If the end is broken off though, it could be a busted Celt. I find lots of em here in the Caddoan area! Cool find.

YES! It appears to be broken at the larger end. When I get home from work I'll share better photos!!!

I SO appreciate the input and comments. This is such a wonderful, sharing community!

Celts will have symmetrical bits. Adzes have a flat face.
Looks like an adz to me.
