    A mano (Spanish for hand) is a ground stone tool used with a metate to process or grind food by hand.

    History

    Manos were used in prehistoric times to process wild seeds, nuts and other food, generally used with greater frequency in the Archaic period, when people became more reliant upon local wild plant food for their diet. Later, manos and metates were used to process cultivated maize.

    In its early use in the American Southwest, the mano and metate were used to grind wild plants. The mano began as a one-handed tool and once cultivation of maize became more prevalent, the mano became a larger, two-handed tool that more efficiently ground food against an evolved basin or trough metate.

    Besides food, manos and metates were used to separate and pulverize clay from earthen debris and stones. The resulting clay was used for pottery-making.

    Grinding process

    A mano, a smooth hand-held stone, is used against a metate, typically a large stone with a depression or bowl. The movement of the mano against the metate consists of a circular, rocking or chopping grinding motion using one or both hands.

    Manos

    by: Spinanes

    Heard like a ham radio
    You're a lamp I'm waiting for someone to creep up from
    behind
    View peculiar to give you room to slide
    The light is listing on your neck
    It's not easy
    Simple stutter at everyone you see
    Played superior to give you room to lead
    Try a little tenderness
    Try social finesse
    Bring on down here
    And I'm such a wreck
    You're staring down space down at the ground
    There's a sound for it
    Smoking wisps sliding out so aroused
    A nickled eye shifting inside your eyes
    Try a little easiness
    Try tempting largess
    Lean on down here
    And I'm such a wreck
