HELLO, and help! More portable rock art I found as 'river rock' from Southern Ohio/Northern Kentucky. I honestly have enough American Indian rock art, stone axes, grinding stones, mortars, pestals, stone cutters, adzes, discoidals, gaming stones etc etc to fill the bed of a pickup truck! I've only been doing computer research on it for a month or so, so I'm sorry I don't have specifics posted yet. But I will post information on a regular basis as soon as I have my research confirmed. I don't want any incorrect/false information about these Indian artifacts, as I feel that would be betraying the brilliant Indian artists/carvers who made these amazing pieces out of stone. SO, I WELCOME ANY AND ALL opinions, facts, discussions, grievances, questions etc about them (or the Indians that may have made them).
AND, if you live anywhere near Cincinnati and want some, you can literally dig up 2 buckets full in an hour....I promise. All of it ranges from the size of a penny- up to the heavy, large stone axe heads, grinding stones, hammers etc.. Just leave a message, and I can let you know where, because I cant get it all. I also have 20-30 stone effigy's that are much larger, but those came from a close by creek that isn't owned by me. Ill post pics of those soon as well!
Thanks for looking,

Ok, I see I need to do some adjusting on my artifact picture taking. Its very hard to photograph these well, as u know if you've ever tried. Also, I see some of these need to be wet to see good. Humph....i'm learnin. These really are so much more amazing in real life! This HAS to be the one of, if not the most, difficult mediums to work with. I'm surprised there's not more buzz about this highly skilled, ancient, form of portable art. They are beautiful, interesting, funny, scary and confusing. And, each one created left behind a small, but 'permanent' piece of the historical culture and legacy of the brilliant Indians who crafted them. Not many artisans can say that about their pieces. I wonder how long some of them with multiple images took.....wow. Anyway, thanks again.
