Hopper mortar is made of basalt with shallow recess for working surface. Ethnographically, basket was placed in recess and plant material would be ground with a pestle inside basket. Both sides of mortar have been used for grinding. This artifact was among those collected by screening and surface finds in April 1971. Bergen believed that the site from which this mortar was found was a hunting camp area, and that this camp faced into and was on the shore area of the lake; it was indented about three or four feet into the face of a ridge.
