January/February 2012 featured article
by Jessica Diemer-Eaton

stews, cooking meats, and baking breads. And why not? The amazing capabilities of the stone's heat retention, its versatile use, and its
availability lends itself as a prime choice material for grilling, baking, steaming, boiling, and drying foods. Dehydrating Foods - In New Jersey, archaeologists
have uncovered large, man-made beds of collected river stones. One in particular measured about 25 by 50 feet in size. Some rocks show signs of fires that were made
on top of them. The earth below contained posthole stains, suggesting that racks were built above the rock beds. Being that these tend to be located close to rivers and
their tributaries, it is theorized that the Native People suspended their fish on the racks above the rocks to dry.
