Back in the Broken Box

[Scorpion68]

Hey ya'll - I'm still going through my box of broken or junk pieces. I'll quite here in a bit. Anyway - I came across this mysterious thing and thought ya'll might have some ideas - and - don't tell me it's just a rock. Wild guess is a multi-tool or repurposed point or drill/scraper. That just about covers the gamut. Opinions please. ...Chuck

Definitely a multi-tool. I think the thicker end was used as an adz or gouge. The pointed end could have been hafted into a wood or bone handle or even used as a perforator / drill.

A little crude but still a nice Artifact/would make my day. First thought was Knife but Cb put more thought in it.

Just a rock. Kidding. Definitely some type of tool. Could see it being a cutting tool or even something to make holes.

You forgot boomerang Chuck. Because you obviously keep going back to it trying to figure it out.
In all seriousness though that is a dandy find.

I wonder if that hole goes all the way though and is just plugged with gravel? Nice multi tool. I would frame that. It is a cool piece. Piece that will keep you thinking for sure.

Hey Hoss - the hole goes all the way through. I used a sewing needle and was able to pull it all the way through after I cleared all the sand out. Thanks for the suggestion. Some kind of mal-formation in the rock I guess.

[Hoss]

Cool I know a guy who collects points with holes like that.

[Scorpion68]

Would that be anybody we know???

Hey Chuck, That's an interesting tool. I think Alan has it right. The wide end did the work and it was hafted in a socketed handle.
