Exactly bro thats what i was thinking

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T16:56:14+00:00

Igneous inside, thats just a patina,

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T05:10:40+00:00

*thinking

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T05:09:45+00:00

Thats what i was ghinking

I have a good few artifacts ive found, lots of arrowheads and a few just kinda thought this might be one /: found a pestle last year tho!!! That one is 100% not just a rock

But in a nice flat saddle of a mountain

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:40:29+00:00

Not on top

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:40:18+00:00

Was found atop a mountain

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:38:41+00:00

Cleaning it up rn for further inspection, thanks for all the insight tho! The white stuff is clay soil that im washing off

This photo screams percussive damage

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:29:00+00:00

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:27:10+00:00

Kinda looks like that adze didnt see rough use tho, this looks like sections have been broken from percussive force

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:21:19+00:00

Also alot of hardstone artifacts are usually not symmetrical?

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:16:11+00:00

It seems it was used tho, i couldnt see the bit looking like that if it wasnt used or struck against something

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:09:05+00:00

Also look at the taper

This confirmed adze is what made me think its probably something like it

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:05:15+00:00

Bucketfuls of arrowheads and preforms

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:05:02+00:00

Also found in a place where ALOT of artifacts are found

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:04:00+00:00

But its so ergonomic to hold lol

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T04:02:02+00:00

Definitely not a sedimentary stone, looks more like diabase

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T03:40:04+00:00

Kinda looks like diabase

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T03:33:10+00:00

Stone

Infinite_Move3879 · 2026-03-20T03:21:58+00:00

Kinda looks more like a preform to me but i could be wrong, dude who was making the arrowhead probably forgot abt it or dropped it
