They look like nothing less than sharpening stones for an awl made of bone, possibly used for leather.

As I was explaining to Steven Tyler America has many material advantages but it is sorely lacking in Chalk. I am afraid I think it is too soft to sharpen anything on. Another suggestion I have seen for a functional use is to hold threads with a grain of sand before twisting them together. I'm afraid I neither explanation rings true with me, though i would love there to be a simple explanation.
