This is a museum on the campus of UT at Knoxville. It’s not large, but it is packed with interesting facts about Tennessee. Two floors with good exhibits.

What would native Americans use a Skillet shaped depression in a rock for?

Positive Energy | Nov 3, 2019
Ms. Tasha S-B | Nov 3, 2019

Maybe this can help: "The metate, also called the mealing stone, was a large rock used to grind maize. Most metates consist of large, flat stones with a bowl or depression worn into the surface by the repeated grinding of the mano, a hand-held stone, against the surface of the metate. The molcajete performed a similar function, acting as a sort of mortar and pestle to grind ingredients."
