Stone Weight

3D Model

This medium-sized round stone has man-made grooves ground into the sides. These grooves allow the stone to be used as a weight that would have been tied to another object. While weights like this one can be found around the world used for many purposes, this weight was most likely used on a fishing net or as a counter weight on an early projectile weapon called an atlatl. This weight was found in Anne Arundel County, MD.
