Metate bedrock

I was outside Marble Falls last weekend camping & fishing on lake LBJ.

There is a ranch where we have gone for years, the old gentleman that owns

it stopped by and we talked. I asked about any prehistoric sites around on

the property and he proceeded to tell me of a huge site that was now

underwater on the main Colorado river that was nearby. I hiked around and

found this huge boulder that would have been very close to the camp site

and main river channel. You can clearly see the impression where grinding

took place and was worn down several inches. This would be an excellent

place for any underwater explorations that one might do. I thought it

was pretty neat!

Re: Metate bedrock

That IS a beautiful area AND just a few feet from the granite outcrops that produced all the best Manos downstream.

The matate users at your picture location would have had a ringside seat of the Marble Falls power races

Re: Metate bedrock

very cool! thanks for info and pics. Did the river move some and that's why the camp site is underwater?

Re: Metate bedrock

It like hundreds of sites along the highland lakes chain are now underwater since LCRA created dam's to keep Austin from flooding.
