Cooking stones (also called pot boilers or heated stones) and discoidals (sometimes spelled discoidle or similar) are both types of stone artifacts with deep historical and cultural significance.
Cooking Stones are stones heated in fires and used to transfer heat for cooking, especially in cultures without durable pottery or metal vessels.
Discoidles are carefully crafted, disc-shaped (circular and often bi-convex or flattened) stone objects, primarily associated with Mississippian cultures (roughly 800–1600 CE) in the eastern/central United States.
