Southern California pestle stone artifacts are typically ground stone tools used by Native American groups in the region, such as the Chumash, Tongva (Gabrielino), Luiseño, and others. These pestles (often paired with mortars) were essential for processing acorns—a staple food source—along with seeds, nuts, roots, and other plants into meal or flour.
