I remember seeing them before, thought they were worn down from the water but there was no water in the area.....so that's what they are?
My guess is that they're what the name implies stones that were used to hammer something?

Hi everyone, thanks for the posts! Hammerstones were used to make arrowheads and other tools. They would use them to "hammer" off a piece of flint from a large flint nodule. Then they would use the hammerstone to shape the piece into a blade, spear, point, etc. They would then use an antler to pressure flake the edges giving the piece that nice serrated edge. A lot of times that would use what they call a billet instead of a hammerstone to shape the flint piece. A billet is the really thick end of an antler. I guess it depended on what they liked to use or what they had available. One way to tell if a round rock was a hammerstone is to look at the surface for peck marks. It will have obvious marks all over it if it was used as a hammerstone. If you take a round stone and use it repeatedly to pound on another rock, you will have abraisions and marks all over the stone from the poundings. Someone who flint-knaps could probably describe the process a lot better than I just did.
Hope this helps! Brian
