Fic. 107.—One of the ancient Paragonah dwellings. The adobe walls were 
- / . . . = . . . 
of the same color as the surrounding soil and frequently were distinguished 
only by the small roots which followed their sun-dried surfaces. 
Fig. 108.—Circular kiva or ceremonial room, Paragonah, Utah. Attempts to 
brace the thin earthen wall at the left had proved unsuccessful; its final collapse 
probably hastened the abandonment of the structure. Upon this sloping wall, 
near the end of the long shadow, is a fireplace which belonged to a temporary 
shelter, erected subsequently to the destruction of the kiva.
