    Outer Banks Indian Object. What is it?

    I think MM is right on track with his guess. The museum of the albemarle has a few of these among their collection of indian artifacts. They have a pretty good collection of bowls, grinding stones and stone tools as well as a dugout cypress canoe tha is in pretty good shape. Tony :front:
