The Anasazi made pottery and stone cooking and eating implements, such as bowls, cups, cooking pots and ladles, and used friction from stone spindles to start cooking fires. They used a metate, a flat stone blade, to grind corn.
Anasazi people wove cloth by using wooden spindles and looms and used sewing needles made from bone with thread made from yucca fibers or sinew.
