Vesicular basalt mortar, Bergen notes "Large desert type basalt morter with one side broken, found part way down a ridge some twenty-five yards below a camp that was blowing out. It appears as if it had washed out with some heavy rain and then rolled part way down the ridge and then been recovered by succeeding washes. Only a small corner was exposed." SWD, 12/5/2002
