A metate and mano were used by the dwelling's inhabitants to grind corn.
Often two or three metates with manos for each are found in one room.
This doe not mean the room was used for grinding purposes only.
As is often the case today among Pueblo Indians, the three metates are all made from rock with different degrees of coarseness.
Coarse metates were used for preliminary grinding and fine-grained ones for final grinding.
