I've seen plenty of Olmec ceramic figurines. Looks vaguely similar but without knowing which region it came from or how they ended up in the storage box there is really noway to know for sure.

Are these what you're referring to?




Garden God, Central Mexico
This is a nice clay figurine that was made in the form of a human or animal. these where used to throw into the farm fields for offerings to the corn god. They are generally parts of pots or statues that where broken and saved for the spring time offering.

Where are you from?
Possibly a Mound Builder artefact if your from Eastern U.S.
The rocks with holes might have been used to smooth arrow shafts.

i would say the sherds are part of a strainer or colander.

btw, the maya also make the exact same figurines except theirs generally have a dot on the forehead. can't tell if yours has that.

peace

Yes the pic and info you provided is
pretty much what I am referring to.
However I have seen them slightly
different - one from the other. Some
have head gear on top of the head
coming down to a point over the nose.
