Here is a very nice and well used small mortar and pestle. It is hard to see the indentations on both sides of the mortar in the photos. The centers are about 1/4″ lower on the working areas. There is a nice polish from use in the middle of both sides and the outer edges still show the pecking from being shaped. This is a great and unusually small example. It was possibly made to be portable. The pestle was found a couple years later in the same field. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were ever a pair but they do seem to fit each others contour. The pestle has a nutting divot on it’s working side and has pecking from rough shaping still present. It also has a nice smoothing on the bottom from use. They display very well together.

These beads were purchased as part of a collection in the late 60’s. There are 2 made of stone and 2 shell. They have a nice patina and conical holes.
This is a nice group of 10 painted Southwest pottery shards from Arizona. One of them has been ground on all sides in ancient times.
This was purchased at an artifact show in Indianapolis in the mid 60’s. It shows nice age and patina.
This is a string of old glass trade beads. The string is approximately 52 inches in length containing roughly 800 beads. They are all glass of various colors and sizes. Looking at them with a loop I can see they are very irregular in shape with one side smaller on a lot of them. Small bubbles and imperfections can be seen in the clear and translucent ones.
Eskimo-‘Yupik and Inupiat’ harpoon toggle in very intact condition.
A most unusual artifact carved into a diamond shape it is truly a one of a kind. It shows nice polish from use and a lot of patina.
Here is an example of an ancient unfinished project. I am sure it was on his ‘honey-do’ list. Finely pecked into shape but only started drilling the hole. It had a lot of potential. If it could only tell the story as to why it didn’t get finished. This is a great study piece.
Very thinly made with nice patina and shows lots of use wear.
