- Description
- Gray Ware cylindrical tool of coarse fabric. The tool ends in a flattened knob at one side with a rounded triangle cut in relief and incision lines still visible around its perimeter. This triangle was possibly used for stamping. On the cylinder are six rows of small punctuated holes going down the length of the tool. The rows of holes are not evenly parallel nor are the holes within each row evenly spaced. The break at the other end of the cylinder reveals that the holes were punctuated quite far into the core of the object.
