Material: Hematite Hornblende
Age: Probably Middle Archaic (8,000 to 5,500 BP)
American Indian Tools: Extremely rare! This is an amazing feat of Stone Age engineering: Fits in the left hand as if it were molded by squeezing clay - but this is hard iron-based hornblende stone! Both ends are flat for pounding. Note ancient impact chips on the ends. The original "brass knuckles". Will not stand up on either end without leaning it on a vertical surface. Great price too!

Material: Sandstone conglomerated to Slate
Age: Probably Middle Archaic (8,000 to 5,500 BP)
American Indian Tools: Extremely rare! Because of the fine grain of the sandstone (the "snails' shell") this artifact may have been an Indian maiden's personal fingernail file. Most of us modern humans take it for granted that we have fingernail files - 11,000 years ago this item would have been a luxury. We have not tried it out for fear of devaluating its original patina.
