AZ&F that mano and metate is too cool! Somebody sat right there at that spot, perhaps thousands of years ago and ground stuff up for their food. That is awesome. Is it near the edge of a hill or a spring or anything? Have you located any camps near that stone?

It's located 50-to-70 yards from a 50 ft bluff overlooking the North Llano. We've found several other points, as well.

Neat stuff. Its almost all middle Archaic 3,000-5,000 years old. I like the willow leaf shaped knife at the bottom. Couple of broken Covington/Friday blades, an ensor, several preforms,...
The black one in the second row from the bottom is interesting. Pics of both side would help but its pretty beat up.

These are the same questions I think of with every piece I find whether it be flakes, brokens, or whatever. We're the flakes left by an elder as he taught a youngster the trade? What were times like back then? What did the country look like? It's these things that keep me digging and hunting artifacts!
