Fifty-five pieces of lava with impressions of prehistoric corn have recently been recoveredfrom NA 860, a small habitation site near Sunset Crater Volcano in northern Arizona. Archaeological, geological, and botanical information suggest that husked ears of corn were deliberately placed in the lava's path when the volcano erupted in the mid-to-late eleventh century A.D. Over 40 kg of basalt lava containing the hardened corn casts were then taken to NA 860 located 4 km away from the lava flow. At the site, the rocks underwent lithic reduction to expose the casts. We suggest that these "corn rocks" are indicative of ritual practices, perhaps serving as an offering made to appease the forces responsible for the eruption. Although both prehistoric and modern offerings are commonly associated with volcanoes in other parts of the world, this is the first evidence from the Southwest United States of possible ritual behavior related to volcanism. Cincuenta y cinco pedazos de lava con impresiones de mafz prehistoricofueron descubiertos recientemente en NA 860, un pequeno sitio de habitacion cerca del volcan Sunset Crater en el noroeste de Arizona. Informacion arqueol6gica, geol6gica, y botanica sugieren que las mazorcas de mafzfueron intencionalmente colocadas en la trayectoria de la lava cuando el volcan hizo erupcion en la segunda mitad del siglo XI d. C. Mds de 40 kg. de lava basdltica conteniendo impresiones de mafz se recuperaron en el sitio NA 860, a 4 km de distancia de la lava. En este sitio, las rocasfueron trabajadas para exponer las impresiones. Sugerimos que estas 'rocas de maiz' indican practicas rituales, y que quizas estas rocas sirvieron como ofrendas para apaciguar a las fuerzas responsables por la erupci6n. Aunque las ofrendas asociadas con volcanes son comunes en otras partes del mundo, tanto en la prehistoria como en tiempos modernos, esta es la primera evidencia de practicas rituales asociadas con vulcanismo que se ha recuperado en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos.
