Remarks

This polishing tool is likely a utilized river cobble. The homogenous smoothness of the surface is typical of that caused by erosion. The material and composition of the stone make it possible to decipher some sign of use with the naked eye. There are a few spots that are noticeably different in color (likely the product of use). The context and suitable size of the object, moreover, make its utilization likely. Though the tool is complete, it is chipped on one end in two places prior to its deposition. Given that Gegharot is not situated directly on or by the river suggests that this object was intentionally moved to the site.
