That is a great find. Like they say if only it could tell the stories of the past.

I would bet they flipped it over to keep the water from getting in and freezing it over the winter , when they were ready for it again, flip it back over.
one year they didn't return in the spring and there is sat.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

one year they didn't return in the spring and there is sat. That makes a whole lot of sense. I have found close to 70 tools on my farm, most for making pemmican and other food prep. There's 3 huge boulders at the camp site, by my back barn. One has 14 mortars worked in it. One has some polishing on the exposed surface, but mostly looks like a long, flat granite slab. I should try flipping it. Keith

Maybe the Blackfeet flipped them over so that the thieving Pawnee saw it as just another rock and left it be. (If any of y'all are Pawnee, feel free to just switch the names around.) You would have to be pretty darn motivated thief, to steal the bigger metates, without heavy machinery. Keith
