[45] These dishes resemble those sometimes used by the Hopi for sprinkling water on their altars as a prayer for rain. They may have been used also in sifting sand on the kiva floor, to form a layer upon which the sand picture is later drawn with sands of different colors.

[46] Small perforated clay disks are not rare here, as in other ruins. They were used in the same way as the horn disk mentioned on page 30.
