Hand-bored metates (or pestles), roughly one thousand years old, in a large bedrock boulder. Presumably they were used by native inhabitants to grind foodstuffs such as mesquite beans or corn into usable meal. This boulder was part of large jumble situated on a canyon rim overlooking a choke point and natural waterfall.
Most contained some water, but only this one was streaked with vivid plant life.
