This ancient stone mortar made by Native Americans many centuries if not thousands of years ago was used with a stone pestle (not present in photo) for the grinding of grain and other foods. It was found while plowing a field a number of years ago and now resides at the Freeman Cabin at Ole Gilliam Mill Park.

old stone
Very interesting stone Java. It looks like it has some carved detailing around the edge(circles?).
