Over 400 carved stone objects from 3500 to 2500 BC are found in Scottland mostly in Aberdeenshire.

They are parts of ancient device design from systems that are lost to the science of modern times.

That's nasty, I doubt they used it for that.
If they did I'm not surprised they stopped producing them.

What they were used for is a very good question that I have no answer for but a great mystery for all to ponder.

They appear to be carved mace heads to me.
The grooves and fingers are what held the fibers used to lash them to rods.

There was a documentary on the TV the other day about Stonehenge. There was a professor in it from, I think, the University of Bath, and he has been intrigued by these mysterious little stone spheres, that have been found throughout Britain, for years.
When it was noticed that these mysterious objects were often found near stone circles, he came up with the theory that these stone spheres were like ancient ball bearings, and were used to move huge megaliths like those of Stonehenge.

I agree with Harte on this... While I was visiting Ireland a couple years ago they had a known cermonial mace head in one of the museums I visited... It looked similar to these...
