The purpose of this paper is to visit the various approaches developed on dimpled stones, or large rocky substrates with holes, which have been known as fixed mortars in the Argentine Northwest, from the traditional perspectives of the pioneers of the national archeology, at the late nineteenth century, to subsequent studies carried out around the first half of the twentieth century. At the same time, we take a look at the concepts used by these archaeologies, through their approaches to the grindstones. Early nomenclatures and subsequent derived terminology are revisited. Some continuities between current and previous works are highlighted. Finally, the value of early studies as sources of expectations for modern analysis of artifacts and milling practices, is sustained, within the framework of the current and future challenges of the theme.
