[QUOTE="GOHUNT, post: 5310512, member: 1718"] I’ll start this by saying it’s hearsay, but I believe it. A friend of mine been telling me about an archeological site he owns. Said the old woman who’s family owned the land before his wife’s family bought it gave her family this pestle and said it goes with the “hole in the rock”. Turns out, they have a huge mortar in a limestone vein along the creek. The site is about 500 yards from the Nolichuckey river. Anyway, today we got together to put the parts back together. When I first saw the pestle I said, dang with that flat bottom must be a big hole…and it was. Pretty amazing to me. There is a pic of me holding the pestle in the mortar like the Indians did many thousands of years ago. I’ve now got permission to go look around, along the creek and in the pasture, for artifacts.
