orchard is a one-room cliff-house. Its interior and its roof (which is 
supplied by the cave) are heavily smoked. On a smooth rock face at 
one side is a very large pecked representation of a mountain sheep 
(see pl. 89, 7). 
Ruin 5 (Fuutertayer Hovse) 
The only ruin of considerable size that we were able to find in 
Hagoé lies in a cave in a short western branch of the canyon. Its 
exposure is to the south, and, as is always the case with sheltered 
caves at the ground level, the whole place was covered with a 3 or 
4 inch layer of compact sheep dung, which had to be broken to pieces 
and moved away before any work could be done. On the rocks on 
either side of the mouth of the draw where the ruin is situated are 
most interesting and elaborate series of pecked pictographs (see pl.

93, b, and fig. 96). One group consists of hump-backed creatures 
apparently blowing on musical instruments. These suggested the 
name “ Fluteplayer House” for the ruin itself. 
Though not promising at first glance, Fluteplayer House was the 
most instructive site excavated during the season’s work, for it con- 
tained clear evidence of two distinct ancient cultures, one superim- 
posed upon the other. The cave that shelters these remains is 100 
feet long and 50 feet deep (fig. 15), its floor sloping evenly up from 
the ground level to the back, a rise of from 15 to 17 feet. A seepage 
of water from the strata along the back of the cave has wet the lower 
measures of the culture deposit, and jimson weed and box elders, both 
of which need some extra degree of moisture, grow about the mouth.
