I posted a few days ago that I had found some quartz rock and some other stones in our yard a while back while creating a pine isle in our side yard. Our yard sits atop of a hill and over looks a cul de sac. The Alcovy River runs behind our cul de sac about 200 yards from the area these were found. I meant to add that we live in Georgia. I don't pretend to know Native American artifacts a third of what most of you here know. My question is if I'm on the right track or just imagining things. Any help would be most appreciated.
The 1st pic. is of stones found with some sort of distinctive shape. They all fit in the palm of your hand as if using for some sort of tool. Top (R) and bottom (L) corner have very sharp points on end. I thought these could be some sort on Hyde scrapers? The middle stone appears to have a worker edge (facing right) and is still has a nice edge, still rather sharp. The stones bottom at the middle has an intention where it could have possibly been fitted in a handle or a split piece of wood to be used as a hatchet or a cutting tool?
2nd pic. Large & small quartz stones. The larger stone has pretty much most of its center chipped out. The smaller 4 pieces at the bottom are what I believe to be crudely made narrowness of points.
3rd pic. Same two stones with small shares found in same small area.
4th pic. Same two stones with dollar coin placed for size reference.
5th pic. Backside view of larger quartz stone.
6th pic. Another angle view of larger stone.
7th pic. A close-up view of the larger stones center. Note the intentions made as if made from some sort of a pic tool to chip the stone.
Again, I would appreciate any help concerning this. Thanks in advance, Kevin
