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

Wood/bury's type described as having "two adjoining grinding
surfaces#" Woodbury {195^* 30)» and Bartlett {19335 18-19.)»
agree that in the Northern Arizona region, hedged and tri-
j angular mano forms did not become common until Pueblo III

I at Leyit Kin, Datton (1938: 53) notes that wedged manos were
used in troubled metates, This was the case at Wupatki. The

j. IV period, but by Pueblo III times at Awatovi» this type had

Bartlett believes that the prehistoric manos of Northern
Arizona were shorter, although of the same width# than modeia
I Hopi manos (1933* 18).
More specifically, in the Mogollon area, the unlfaoial
mano with upturned ends is the common early form, tending to
become longer, flatter, and bifacial as time progresses

manos are earlier in the north than in the south § and wedged
