metate and nuting stone find pics up

Alright, finally was able to get these up. Stopped by a new site I just got permission to hunt. Found these two pieces, and a few crude scrapers. The amount of debitage was very encouraging.

Hey Quito,
They look natural to me, sounds like you are in the right spot?

They are natural alright, but they have been used. I know what our pink quartzite looks like when it's been ground on. And the other, well there's more to that story.:-)

The metate is very well defined. I like it. On your nutting stone......I have to ask because I have never found one before. But dont you think the hole is too deep? It looks almost like it was a drilled piece that didnt get finished. Like I say I have never found one. Any worked flakes in the mix?
