I think it is a cup stone. The strange thing about them is that no one is quite sure what they were for. Was it for bi-polar knapping? Was it for cracking hard shelled nuts? Was it a mortar for crushing herbs or mixing pigments? If only rocks could talk. It feels really nice in my hand, like somebody loved it.

Probably something like a mortar and pestle? (Minus the pestle)

I think its one of these. Nr 4
It would be part of your nifty fire starting and general drilling kit.
I lived in Botswana for 5 years and had seen both the San and Naru peoples using this technique to drill into ostrich shells to make jewellery.
Here is a link to how it works if you want to start a fire. http://wildernessarena.com/food-water-shelter/firecraft/lighting-a-fire
