. Chapters in the prehistory of Eastern Arizona. Indians of North America -- Antiquities; Indians of North America -- Arizona. Fig. 30. Pestle, upper left; mauls, upper right; hammerstones, lower. Length of lower right specimen, cm. These resemble the pestles figured by James Stevenson (1883, figs. 353, 358), and described by Stephen (in Parsons, 1936, p. 882), but none is of the potato-masher type collected at Awatovi (Woodbury, 1954, pp. 95-96). Mortars (fig. 31).—These objects with cavities for the crushing of ma- terials have been called stone bowls, dishes and raised-border palettes.

Mortars (fig. 31).—These objects with cavities for the crushing of ma- terials have been called stone bowls, dishes and raised-border palettes. Generally, those with rough exterior surfaces and deeper cavities have been called mortars, and those with smoothly finished outer surfaces and shallow depressions bowls, dishes or palettes, but this is a somewhat arbi- trary distinction. Those from the Carter Ranch Site are thick slabs, irregular blocks or rounded cobbles with relatively shallow ( to cm. deep) cavities.
