More rock carvings

[Randy (KY)]

Here is a couple more pics of some rock carvings (for a lack of a better discription) however I'm fairly certain I know what these are and what they mean. Anybody else know? I'll give the answer later tonight.

The straight line grooves cut in these rocks were done by Indians while making arrowheads. In the process of knapping flint the sharp edges must be kept dull so the flint will chip and not shatter. Indians would saw the flint in sand stone as they worked the flint to shape. Here is another example that I found in my garden. This is a small stone that was probably used as a personal tool.
