These are Baby Agave plants. Ready to be planted. It takes years to mature an agave. A mature agave sprouts off several of these babies. Something like the Hen & Chick plant.
These 2 photos are of the Ruins we visited a week ago. The view behind them is of the valley and the lake that the natives controlled. They made rafts out of reeds to float on the lake, and they grew corn on the rafts. That way the bad guys couldn't get their food.
This is a picture of the leftover steel after the big press cut the knife blades. You can see the knife shape.
This is the old press that makes the steel into the knife shape. I think this thing is about 100 years old, still functioning. This was a fifth generation business, in the same location. They made the wooden boxes, the handles, everything right there.
