Indian stone tool

[heybubbajay]

Here are a few pics of "an Indian stone tool"

It was found off route 49 in Union County, SC in the 1960s. Union County had Cherokee, Catawba's and early Mississippian culture Indians....any thoughts about what the stone tool was used for?

What do you think it is? Because all I see is a large piece of sandstone and not an artifact. So just what are you seeing?

I see a stone with sharp angles. Although I do not see any wear from say scraping, its form, at least in my opinion, does not seem to be natural...

I can't see any use for it. You might go back to the area it was found and see if other rocks are similarly shaped.

It looks like a geo fact. It should be something but is not. Natural shape and wear over millions of years. It is the rock you pick up hoping for more. We all do it.

You are right about that.

I always kick those type stones over in the fields though, especially around camp sites. They liked that type stone around here for grinding on. Sometimes one side will be dipped out to a bowl shape.

Really hard to see it with those pics. Maybe try taking your pics outside and then set your camera to the Marco setting. No flash but shows great detail.
