  abstract = {{I}n {C}entral {A}merica, maize processing for the production of tortillas bears a strong cultural connotation of the preservation of cultural traditions. {T}he {METATE} project aims to explore the long-term history, from {P}rehispanic times until today, of the production and use of grinding stone tools (metates and molcajetes) on the slopes of the {E}l {M}etate volcano ({M}ichoacán, {C}entral {M}exico). {I}t has been approached through a multidisciplinary program including volcanology, archaeology, and anthropology. {T}he village of {T}urícuaro has been recognized for centuries as a major center of metate production for the entire {P}ur{\'e}pecha region in {M}ichoacán. {A}ccording to the few remaining craftsmen who make metates (metateros) in the village of {T}urícuaro, the quality of the rock selected and the organization of metate production have undergone significant changes during recent decades. {W}e discuss how the introduction of new mechanical and electronic devices has generated important social consequences at the domestic, village, and regional scales.},
