摘要磨碎的石器是霍霍坎人的重要工具，因为他们的饮食主要依赖植物性食物。目前的数据表明，在凤凰城盆地泡状玄武岩材料的矩形马诺和槽变质常见于大多数Hohokam网站的青睐。玄武岩材料的分布相对有限，然而，特定的露头被用作采石场。低功率反射光和BSE-EDX显微来源技术的实验表明，存在几个区域玄武岩源，这些源可能是可识别的磨石组合。不同地点的各种源材料的组成有可能提供对霍霍坎磨石生产和贸易的见解。
ABSTRACTGround stone implements were important tools for the Hohokam because they relied heavily on plant foods in their diet. Current data suggest that in the Phoenix Basin vesicular basalt materials were favored for the rectangular mano and trough metates common at most Hohokam sites. The distribution of basaltic materials is relatively limited' however, and specific outcrops were exploited as quarries. Experiments with low-power reflected light and BSE-EDX microscopic sourcing techniques indicate that several regional basalt sources exist, and that these sources may be identifiable in ground stone assemblages. The composition of various source materials at different sites has the potential to provide insights into Hohokam ground stone production and trade.
