Soapstone Boulder

History
3
An ancient soapstone boulder bears two partially carved soapstone bowls made by Native Americans around 5,000 years ago. The bowls were rough-shaped with flint chisels and then broken off before the final shaping. Harold W. David brought the boulder to Pickens County in the 1950's, and it is pictured in Bert Bierer's "South Carolina Indian Lore."
