The muller, or mealing-stone, is a large, heavy, and oval rolling-pin used with the normal rocking and grinding motion. Cameron, who had before visited the site, and had remarked how vigorously the placer-gravels had been attacked by the natives, would 'hydraulick' by means of the St. John's River. This might also be done by damming up and tapping the adjacent bottom.
"Given-to-the-Sun stooped and picked up a mealing-stone that was used for grinding the sacred meal in the temple of the Corn. "'If your Stone is in the temple and this is a common pebble, said she, 'it does not matter what I do with it. And she seemed about to crush it on the top of the stone balustrade at the edge of the platform. The people groaned.
It was hot and quiet there with always something friendly going on, children tumbling about among the dogs and the turkeys, an old man rattling a gourd and singing the evil away from his eyes, or the plump, plump of the mealing-stone from the doorways.
Late in the afternoon I return and go up a little gulch just above this creek, about 200 yards from camp, and discover the ruins of two or three old houses, which were originally of stone laid in mortar. Only the foundations are left, but irregular blocks, of which the houses were constructed, lie scattered about. In one room I find an old mealing-stone, deeply worn, as if it had been much used.
