sanders: one of the interesting things about the metates that we found in petapilla is that at least halfof them show no signs of wear at all. some of them are blanks that were never finished. perhaps they were broken during the process of manufacturing them. others are complete, but for some reason never left the point of manufacture. they never were distributed to whoever the consumers were. here's an example of what i'm talking about. this is a piece of a metate, but that surface is completely rough. it's never been ground by the action of a mano on its surface. over here is what looks like a partly processed mano. which was not carried all they way down to the completion of the work. it's much too big and too massive. here's one that's just like it, except that it's fully manufactured. it's down to the level that it can be used. and if you'll look at it, you can see that all of the surface is roughed. it has not been ground against the surface of a metate yet. and so we have this interesting situation in both of these groups out there at petapilla where half the metates we found were
