Indian game stone?

[kygirl1227]

Found this buried in the bank of a creek today, I've pulled many points and tools out of this same creek, but never a game ball...as a matter of fact I've never seen anything this nicely shaped out of that creek, not like river rocks...

Check to see if there is a seam on it. Might be a old milling ball. Might be a Game stone also.

Hammer stone if anything.

It's not even round rock

It's not even round rock

Could be a grinding stone I have seen round ones before that weren't completely round

Gatorboy, I never said what it was or wasnt? That's why I said "indian Gaming Stone ?" Those question marks to left are me asking a question....and as much as I've researched it, very well may be or may not, again that's why I was asking...

Thanks Rock, me too!!! Sorry you had no luck today, apparently I didn't either...bahahahaha

 

[kygirl1227]

I might wanna rethink these then if I was way off on the one I found today....

Look...you asked a question.... I gave you my best answer from the single photo you posted.... That's all
I know full well what a question mark means

If those other round stones were found in close association with the obviously worked artifacts in that photo the only re-thinking you might want to do is thinking about the fact that they're probably hammerstones and not for any type of game

Wow! You have a great creek!

 

[kygirl1227]

Thank you all for the advice.... I don't know what they are, I'm new to Huntin compared to most

You have some nice finds. I like all the colors I usually only find white Quartz or black flint. Happy hunting

Most of those round stones appear to be flint nodules. I think you're in or near a source for flint, which would also explain why you're finding arrowheads. Lithic rich sites typically are artifact rich. The three on the left are dead ringers for Hornstone. If used as hammerstones, the witness marks will be obvious. If a Native American attempted to "crack" it open for tool making purposes, it would also display witness marks.

As far as your question regarding the game stone....more/better/different angle pictures would help. It is some great looking material!

Maybe you have some boiling stones. They were used quite a bit by hunter-gatherer and farming cultures, but that idea never seems to come up. Depends on the type of rock, too, as you don't want anything that cracks or flakes or even explodes when heated.

Nice find.
