| A yucca- or sotol-cane "fire-hearth" with drill holes for fire-starting. A small piece of cane or wood would have been rapidly twisted in one of the holes causing intense friction and gradual buildup of heat. Once a spark was emitted, it would be caught in a wad of tinder such as dried grass, brought to flame, and with added kindling and fuel, a fire would be made. |
