Two Neat Artifact Finds from Upstate SC

[treybuck]

Ok I need some help with both of these finds. I am sure someone can shed some light on the first one and the second one I will take a stab at and please anyone correct me if I am wrong. It seems to be a very dense, chunk of clay that has been burned or charred on the upper portion. Maybe it came from an old hearth? Maybe not.... But I do know that I found it in an area of highly concentrated artifacts. The site has produced several hardstone tools, hundreds of projectile points,and hundreds of pottery sherds. Please take a look and help me out! Thanks!

We might be able to help if we could see them pictures. Too blurry for an ID on them there pieces.

I agree with Hoss. Tough call from your pics. From what I can see of the first one it appears to be natural.
