Stone tools excavated fron Stainton gravel beds.

All of these images and pieces have been viewed by Tees Archaeology, but have been dismissed as water worn stone.

This looks like a small fishing weight

I have now been advised this has been shaped by humans.

This ime sure was utilized to smooth wood! 

Not sure at all but haven't seen smiler and can't see how it could be water worn! I have now been advised this is indeed a naturally worn stone.

This piece just looks far too tidy!

This piece is iron stone and this stuff does come in some weird forms but this piece seems a bit to uniformed for me!
