A lot of those are Paleo tools... some of the things are identical to the ones I find here in WNY.. the only difference is the lithic material..I can see the marks of deliberate, sequencal hammer blows...it takes a long time to wear down some of those stones indicating long term ownership and use... when you get a tool, there's almost always a sweet spot,a way of holding the tool, that is ergonomically comfortable.. don't get much agate, obsidian flint or the glass like lithics so prized by the ancients up here.... like the first stone, look like a skull... our ancestors were not adverse to modifying stones to fit the need, and natural occurring look a likes were prized or venerated?....in doubt, look for the way it fits your hand, I've got a lot of left hand ones, and multiple grip/ work surfaces
I used to find all these rocks that I could tell had been “worked.” They weren’t arrowheads, nor spears, but someone had spent the time working on them, so I’d collect/save them. Fast forward several years, I see TH-cam videos showing Portable Rock Art and tools. I got so excited, realizing the numerous rocks I had, with the same shapes/patterns as theirs!! Now I find them EVERYWHERE up here, by the Twin Cities (Minnesota). I told Leesa, I’m just certain both mine and her rocks were crafted by the same tribe of Native Americans- the Chip-a-way tribe…🤭😉
