Friction stone
A flour ground from the tubers of arrowroot (tacca leontopetaloides), alongside the fruit of the pandanus and breadfruit tree, was a further, important nutritional staple found on the pre-colonial Marshall Islands. The roots were grounded on a coral stone like this one and then dried on a stand lined with coconut bast.
