Baking Stones
- Slabs of stone used by the ancient Indian tribes of Southern California.
They were usually of soapstone, hollowed out on one side and rounded on
the other. A fire was built under the rounded portion. Many
such stones have been dug up and today are in museums. They are similar
to the flat baking stones which the Hopi and other Pueblo Indians use in
making their paper or wafer bread.
