Archaic era Mortar Stone


jpevahouse

This mortar stone was found along the bank of the Tennessee River Perry County, TN during the early 1960s. It's about 12 inches wide and quiet heavy. The stone and type of water worn stone is not native to Perry County which is cut into deep limestone strata. The nearby Spring Creek site dates from early woodland to early Archaic. The type of stone is more common in the Smoky Mountains about 200 miles east. Native people at that time traveled around frequently sometimes long distances.
