<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 645649, member: 10944&quot;]It is definitely stone. New England field stone type stone it seems. While I didn’t think it was a traditional bowl/basin mortar I did think it was a metates type grinding stone. The more I was looking the more I was starting to question that though. Obviously you are correct in regards to the wear pattern.&nbsp; I agree it was meant for processing of some sort. I also questioned whether it was pioneer of Native American. I’m certainly hoping Native American although either would be neat. It was in a private collection for the last thirty years. The auction house owner is supposed to get a note from the previous owner for me with everything he knows about it. I only know it was pulled out of the woods near a natural water source in central MA. I’m very much looking forward to getting the info from the previous owner although I don’t have total faith it will come lol. I don’t believe it was a trough but I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
