MOD NOTE: Edited your post to make one photo visible so people wouldn't have to click on it.

The first thing that jumps to mind is a stone net weight.




Did you find it in a coastal environment?

Well it has pretty much same form
Founded it around 30 kilometers from coast

If you do a search on Google Images for < stone net weight > you'll get quite a sample. The actual size of the stone also matters as similar but smaller stones were used as loom weights for weaving.

Thanks for help, here is few more pieces that i found around same spot, i know its something but i dont know what some are probably stone age tools?


This one looks the same from both sides and have little hole with some look like circles around

Nothing jumps out about that. Here's a tip, though. It helps if you put something in the photo to give it a sense of scale. A coin or even better a ruler.

A small object with a hole might suggest a decorative bead or something whereas something larger suggests a more industrial use.

I needed to improvise

We have 5cm on scissors so around 10cm is this roller one, he weights 231g
Another one weights 274g
And i guess 3 small ones are like some bead?

Definitely beads. See this collection from Harappa in the Indus Valley.

I'll stick with a net weight for the first one. The other thing could be natural. I can't tell from the photo if there is any wear on either end such as you would get from a pestle.

The scissors help.

Well i was in musem today and they aged 3 of this items in early neolithic, one is bead and other two are tools, other two are probably natural. Its mybe hard to tell on pitcure but its not even close

Yup. A hammer stone is otherwise known as a rock!

Could be natural. Always hard to tell with stone objects. There's always a row with Koorie artifacts, some are obviously man-made others may be naturally occurring, some rocks do gain sharp edges naturally.

Context can help, is it near a midden? Is there the remnants of a butchered animal nearby?

A diprotodon rib was once found featuring a chip which corresponded to a nearby "spear tip". It was taken as evidence for the destruction of the species by humans - but the "spear tip" could have been naturally occurring and it was pointed out that there were a number of other sharp stones which would have fitted the bill.

This one looks os interesting!
Does anyone have any clue what this is? It looks like whole piece, from one side it looks just like profile of face, but on another its unclear.

Does nothing for me. Quite smooth. I can't make out any obvious tool marks.
