Display in Hunterdon County New Jersey.
A "bedrock" mortar for grinding seeds or grain. This find was not in an area known for prehistoric settlement, but given that the ground depression is in a 600 lb creek boulder, it seems unlikely to have a historic origin (a gate pivot, for example).
The category of "museum" is used very loosely here. The stone was removed to a local farm market and is likely to go on display at the Township Fire Department.
The location given is the farm where the stone may be seen.
