✅ SOLVED Native American Mortar and Pestle?

[Rmeav8r]

Opinions please.
The father of friend of mine found these on their NW Florida farm many years ago. It was always thought to be a mortar and pestle used by the Native American Indians that lived in the area. This area was home to large numbers of Creek Indians well into the late 1800’s. The area has a large spring fed creek that has multiple sources of underground limestone cave springs that form the headwaters. These have been sitting in a 1920’s farmhouse for years, maybe time to get some opinions on it. It looks like limestone found near the creek.

Well they sure seem to mate together.

Why not post it on the Native American Indian Artifacts forum? More than several knowledgeable people frequent there.

Great idea!

I re-posted it there right after I realized there was a sub forum dedicated to that aspect of what’s it!

I stopped by that Native Spirit store on the way home today and showed the owner what I thought might be a mortar and pestle. He said it is a Native American tool called a 'nutting stone' and that's why it has that indention in it. He said the local Native American used it for cracking open nuts! He even had one similar to it in his store!
