Yeah I know these are probably JARs but gotta run em by y'all anyways. Really weird rocks for my area if nothing else. Found em today in the same field as the arrowheads and the cobble and other rock.

Possible polishing/finishing tools depending on what was being made in your area. If nice smooth axes and other pieces were produced in an area, then I’d hang with them and see if you can corroborate with other collectors who’ve found such tools. The tools that make the tools are often overlooked because the original shape might not have been altered much. The polishers of course were polished through the action of polishing and the material chosen would have longevity in the context it was being used, eg. intended not to break down as it broke down the material being worked. The hard starter tools intended to overcome basalt for a bowl(for example)weren’t pretty but usually ergonomic in some way. The polishing pieces must’ve been some of the most well loved pieces by the people using them.
