GoPro - Joshua Tree National Park - Metate - Geology Tour Road

Native American Indian (Serrano?) Metate near Geology Tour Road.

 

From wiki:

"Another type of metate, called a grinding slab, may also be found among boulder or exposed bedrock outcroppings. The upper face of the stone is used for grinding materials, such as acorns, that results in the smoothing of the stone's face and the creation of pocked dimples.."
