points—north, west, south, east, above, and below. It is an inter- 
esting fact that the number of rooms in Clan-house 1, excepting the 
annex, Is exactly the same as in Casa Grande. In the former, how- 
ever, the 11 rooms are one story in height, whereas in Casa Grande 
there were five rooms in each of two lower stories and one room in 
a third. 
Perhaps the most remarkable of the several rooms in Clan- 
house 1 are the two massive-walled inclosures (K, L) on the north 
‘ side, which have 
been designated 
“the annex’ (pl. 
46). One of these 
(K) seems to have 
been merely an open 
space surrounded by 
thick walls formerly 
higher than at pres- 
ent. In this inclo- 
sure were found the 
remains of a walled- 
up cyst of natural 
cement, one side of 
which was built con- 
tinuous with the 
south wall; the other 
sides of this cyst, vis- 
ible from the room, 
were decorated with 
figures of birds and 
other animals, 
painted red. 
In the interior of 
this cyst, or rude 
sarcophagus (fig. 
Fic. 18. Sarcophagusin room K ofannex to Clan-house 1. ia): was found a 
human skeleton extended at full length with the head directed to the 
east; near the head was a receptacle for mortuary offermgs. From the 
nature of the objects associated with this skeleton and the special 
receptacle apparently made for them, it is supposed that the remains 
were those of an old priest, possibly of a chief, who once occupied 
these rooms. The mortuary objects are figured and described later 
(see pp. 124, 127, 130) and their special significance, so far as can now 
be determined, is discussed. They appear to be priestly paraphernalia, 
similar to those now used in ceremonies by priests of the Pueblo
