These eight rocks were found
in the tool cache outside Hank's house. The rocks on the top row are (left
to right), a large, a medium and a small quartzite mano and a greenstone
pestle with battered ends. The bottom row rocks include (left to right)
a small mano, a small metate with a round grinding basin, a small metate
with flat grinding surfaces. The last rock (lower left) is a piece of poorly
consolidated conglomerate with coarse grains of various minerals. It may
have been used to provide grainy sand that was added to clay for making
pottery. Photo by Doug Boyd.
