They seem to have been at first nomadic hunters, using wooden clubs, hunting sticks, and the atlatl . They lived chiefly in houses with adobe floors and learned to grow corn and squash, probably from southern neighbors in Mexico. As they developed a more extensive agriculture, they dug pits and lined them with stone for grain storage and later built substantial dwellings lined with slabs of stone.
