I'm afraid that I see nothing Native American in the first two, but more of natural occurrences.
You'd think these were man-made too, but they ain't:

You should do some studying then my friend because I have been with archaeology for 45 years and schooled through college and these artifacts are 100 percent Native American Indian and are handmade no doubt but I respect your opinion
The third one looks like it was something man-made. The second one I find similar pieces of at the beach here as it's how nature formed it. The first looks more like fossils and chips.
but they kind of interesting !!
No Native American tribe had any form of a written language until a Cherokee alphabet was invented in the 1800s, and this sure isn't Cherokee. Those are nothing more than a couple interesting rocks, not Native American artifacts. The third is at least man-made. Whether or not it's Native American can't be determined based on the photo.
Look into Lenape Native American Symbols and it will explain it in detail to you CanyonRoad its not written language its Symbols with meaning expressed in their tribes some of the engravings are definite matches one meaning time of year another has to do with weather
All these artifacts were found along with the wooden artifacts also numerous other stone axes and net sinkers and pendants along with pieces from a longhouse
The context doesn't mean much, actually-- you find dirt in most dig-sites; is that made by the people, or did it fill the area in by them or nature. Context just tells us when items went in, and even then can be incorrect when disturbed. But it'd be great to see these other items that you now mention. They'd be very interesting and surely more easily understood.
My nephew tries to bring inside sticks and odd stones he finds outside quite often. Sometimes they go home with him. Sometimes they end up outside or in the can.
Most of what has been written about the Lenape "symbols" or pictographs, sometimes called the "Red Record," has been proven to be a complete hoax, as anyone familiar with Native American history will confirm. There is no connection at all with these rocks. Unless you consider the "hoax" part.
I guess the William Penn Walking Purchase is a hoax to huh its fact and viewed original purchase paper and Forks of The Delaware was one of the biggest trading sites with the white man also I am not far from Plunge Farm one of the biggest sites in NJ in all history books of the state of NJ as one of the biggest paleo sites found to this day you should do some homework my friend
The things on the first and third picture surely look man made to me :))) I mean the stone on the first pic maybe naturally so round but it looks somebody engraved it. I saw pictures of very similar prehistoric artefacts from other part of the world. But of course I'm not an expert :)
Martika yes no doubt they were engraved by Native American Indians the site has turned up so many unbelievable artifacts and where they were found was a fishing site numerous net sinkers parts of a longhouse and many other pieces and the location was a know site and William penn lived near by and he chased the lenalenpe Indians down the trails and that's where the Willam Penn Walking Purchase took place a close friend bought the original document at NY Auction and donate it to the PA Town
Thank you for sharing your interesting items. Did you say you are an archaeologist? This was my dream when I was a child...
No I'm not an archeologist but I love the Indian culture and studied the history of them and been collecting artifacts my whole life over 45yrs even went to college and studied their music and traditions I have a huge collection and treasure each and everyone every piece I have found myself and obtained each piece legally and on private property and respect the Indian culture 100 percent it amazes me the artifacts a person made back in those years
Still waiting for those other artifacts you talk of. Be sure to use the same lighting and camera, also.
SpiritBear help me identify these artifacts
I have seen a lot these type effigies, too many to be natural occurrences. There is a story inscribed on them that tells the story of the life, death after life and reincarnation. Sounds crazy but it's there...
Paleo1 I've found stones that are very close in appearance to yours here in Mississippi and I agree with you. I believe 100% they are man-made artifacts.
I won't get into the whys because I'm a rookie collector and don't know the technical mumbo jumbo of it all. But those same stones are down south as well (the roundish white one), and have very mysterious mojo surrounding them.
