WUPATKI PUEBLO: A STUDY IN CULTURAL FUSION AND ...

Kluckhohn and Reiter 1937 * 68 5 Martin 193&' 57-60; Kidder
1932, Pig# ^3)* The Chaco Canyon examples probably occurred
because of the extensive Hohokam contact with that area.
As previously stated, many late Mogollon communities utilized
single- and full-troughed grinding tools, and a few flat-
slab metates, in contrast to earlier periods in which only
single-troughed specimens were utilized (Wheat 1955s 111)«
In short, in most Sinagua sites the full-troughed
metate was the common form, although In sites where there was
heavy Anasazi influence the full-troughed and single-troughed
metates were about equally common. This is true at Wupatki
Etuin and is another suggestion of cultural change, indicating,
in this case, Anasazi Influence along with general Mogollon
or Hohokam traits.
Miscellaneous Grinding Slabs
Metate Fragment» A fragment of a troughed metate was
found, roughly rounded and slightly concave or dish-shaped in
cross section (Fig. 13 e.)* It had a smoothed grinding area
over one surface of the stone, which measured 18 x 3»5 cm.
Re-used Manos. Two mano fragments were found which
had been re-used as grinding slabs. One, with a concave top
surface, showed signs of use as a pigment pulverizer
(Pig. 13 a)9 while the other mano was flat on one surface and
had a ring of pigment at the center, evidence of its use as
