woodsy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I graduated with a degree in Anthorpology and worked as an Archaelogical Technician for a couple of years when I was younger. During that time, I saw a lot of ground stone artifacts throughout th central valley of California. Although the type of rock displayed in the video is different then the rocks I am used to seeing, they appear to have the same characteristics of a morter. Given the symetry, size, and smoothness I would find it very unlikely that they were naturally formed. Most likely they are Native American artifacts. Nice ones at that.

garimpo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Woodsy is right on....the Indians would use these to mortise their corn to a powder....then mix it with a littlewater or milk and then cook it on a flat hot rock....an early day "pan cake"....some of my old kin folks usedto do that (with modern pans) and as you might guess they tasted like $..t....
