The Works of their Hands

A furnished room of Tuzigoot.  These people were farmer gatherers.  They planted corn, beans, squash and cotton.  Inside are a few of the items they had made.  Large pots called ollas stored corn.  In a rock trough called metatos, the corn was ground into meal using a stone, called monos.  The people of Tuzigoot were master weavers as well as stoneworkers.  By using all that the Creator had provided they lived very productive lives.
