content: E.B. has photos in place in Santa Rita. This pot would have been propped against the side of a wood fire so that the opening faced out from the fire. Sand would have been placed in the pot and after in was hot, corn kernels would have been added and toasted. The sand and kernels would have been stirred constantly so that the kernels did not burn. The mixture would have been removed and the sand sifted out thru a basket (wari). The kernels were then finely ground on a metate to create pinole used as a staple.
