Like most isolated petroglyph rocks in Georgia, Sprayberry Rock is not in-situ. It was moved a hundred feet or so to accommodate a new bank building, in 1984.
There are three prehistoric feature types on the rock. Only one of these features can be associated with a time period. During the Late-Archaic Period (5,000-3,000 years B.P), steatite or soapstone outcrops were quarried to produce bowls and other vessels. Soapstone bowls were traded all over the eastern and mid-western U.S. In Georgia, the bowls were often carved with tools fashioned from diabase (a very hard volcanic rock from instusive dikes found from Atlanta eastward). There are at least seven soapstone bowl preforms or bowl scars ( where a bowl was actually made and removed) on the rock. One preform was in the later stages of completion when abandoned.
The last two prehistoric features can't necessarily be associated with the Late-Archaic Period. Cupules are a poorly understood feature. In some cases they appear to have a utilitarian purpose and are often referred to as nutting holes. In other cases one to several hundred cupules were placed on isolated rocks or outcrops and appear to have no apparent function. Seldom are they arranged in a recognizable pattern. Cupules that appear to have a utilitarian purpose are often on outcrops near streams. It is thought they were used in the processing of nuts and acorns. This activity probably occurred from the Archaic and well into the Woodland Peroid, and possibly later. In come cases, cupules are considered an art form. There are over a dozen cupules on Sprayberry Rock. Their meaning or use is unknown.
The third type of prehistoric feature on Sprayberry Rock is petroglyphs. This is considered an art from. There are at least three images of concentric circles concentrated on one end of the boulder. There are various interpretations on the meaning of concentric circles. It is impossible to determine at which point these circles are produced. If they are associated with the bowl quarrying they are quite old. Concentric circles appear on other isolated petroglyph rocks in Georgia.
I have never seen an archaeological report on Sprayberry Rock. I have no idea if artifacts were recovered before it was moved. For more information: www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/...

Finally got my rough from TZ. I was working on generally preforming & windowing some of the pieces yesterday & took a quick pic at the bench.
Large Umba sapphires at the left, spessartite and mint Merelani garnet at right, pink Mahenge spinel(!) and tsavorite at center. Some fantastic stones just waiting to happen.

This was an excercise to introduce students to laminating and pre-forming (the base), veneering, marquetry, parquetry and hardwood lipping (the top) and engineering lathe work (the brass components joining the top and base).
Each student had the same 'blue print' of the basic tray and had to carry out each task.
There was also a design element so each tray ended up different.
This one is by Andrew Cheetham who kept the 'solid' base. He applie parquetry to the lop and the base

Title/View : Palace of Culture and Science: exterior view from the northwest
Title : Palace of Culture and Science
Other title : Palac Kultury i Nauki w Warszawie; PKiN
Creator : Rudnev, Lev Vladimirovich, 1885-1956
Creator role : Architect
Date : 1952-1955
Current location : Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland
Description of work : A gift from Stalin built atop Warsaw center city ruins in the wake of World War II, the Palace of Culture and Science stands 230 meters tall and is visible throughout the city. It was completed in just three years and is a prime example of Socialist Realism, designed for large public gatherings as a place where ideology would be instilled. Soviet architects based the design on Stalinist architecture produced in Moscow during this same period, adding ornamental embellishments inspired by an official tour of nearby Polish cities and countryside. While Soviets thought the building light and airy, Varsovians generally viewed it as a bleak symbol of oppression. Today, “[a]mong the younger generation, the PKiN has shifted from being the most hated building in Poland to become a cult object, now that it is illuminated at night in changing colors and motifs” (Source: Jaeger, Falk. Next 3 Stadia: Warsaw, Bucharest, Kiev. Berlin: Jovis, 2012, p. 40). The building contains rentable office space, three theaters, a multi-room movie theater, as well as the Palace of Youth, the Museum of Technology, and the Council of Warsaw headquarters.
