The article and link that you've provided are about stone slabs that
have been previously discovered in Middle Tennessee. One of them is now
missing. I will be near the two people mentioned in the article and will
attempt to get some first hand information about them (though this being
a holiday week, I expect that neither person will be available).
Here's a TinyURL link to the article:

There are many mounds and Mississippian sites in this area: Middle
Tennessee and Northern Alabama.

Stone No. 6
This stone was reportedly found by a local artifact collector at the same
Mississippian site as Stone No. 5. The incised picture on this stone is a
small, circumscribed cross surrounded by large "star points" for lack of a
better term. Some archaeologists have interpreted these points as
attachment locations for an animal pelt being dried on a circular hoop.
This incised stone is presumed to be in a private artifact collection in
the Nashville area.
