Click through to the article, then to the archaeologist's report.

It is devastating! Not looking good for these being real tools.

If that's a prehistoric tool then I've got a whole backyard full of them.

Thanks for the ping.

Crude Stone Tool?

Yes...if it is the same one I picked up & used one day, because it was handy.

Sometimes a handy stone of the right size & configuration can save me a long walk back to the barn or a campsite to get a REAL tool. Use it once & throw it away; they get the job at hand done a little quicker than other wise.

Call them "a tool of opportunity".

I've pounded on several different things with a lot of different rocks in my time, but that didn't make them "hammer stones", either.

Then I bought a good pair of fence tool pliers & scabbard.

Now about the only thing I use rocks for is to throw at the deer raiding the bird feeders. Oh, and when I run out of used sparkplugs rock fishing, I'll tie on a rock, since I hate tossing perfectly good, expensive lead into the ocean. Finding one with a hole through it isn't hard.

"Oh, and when I run out of used sparkplugs rock fishing, "

You use sparkplugs to rockfish? Please tell me, how does that work?

I use rocks for loads of things too.

You know, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now.
