Bourne Stone

The Bourne Stone is a 300 pound, four feet by one and a half feet slab of pink granite that is shrouded in mystery. Currently, it is displayed in the Bourne Historical Center, located at 30 Keene St. In Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. It has been displayed there since 2003. Its origins are debated, but most agree that it was originally used as a doorstep for a Native American meetinghouse. (Pre Columbian trans-oceanic contact Fritzinger pg 52). The slab itself has two sides, each being unique. One side contains an inscription of some sort of language and is smooth, and the other side is rough and natural. (figure 1) It is speculated that the smooth side is from natural weathering (new thoughts on an old rock) There are many theories on what kind of language this is and the implications this could bring to the history of this area of New England.
