DALTON ANVIL STONES The Olive Branch site produced some of the earliest examples of anvil stones. Anvil stones are large stones, some quite heavy, that have a pitted surface from pounding. Some examples also show signs of other kinds of surface abrasions. The most obvious use for these tools were as platforms upon which nuts were cracked. They may also have been used to prepare food in other ways, such as pulverizing seeds.
