with adobe, and joined to the walls with rounded corners; above 
it were a few inches of rubbish and the surface sand. The com- 
plete clearing out of the room was rewarded with a large cor- 
rugated olla (see pl. 58, 7), a spherical black jar (see pl. 59, a), and 
several typical cliff-house specimens. The first pot (fig. 35, 6) was 
at the back of the room near the side wall of the cave. It had 
been placed in a hole apparently dug through both floors, though 
neither floor was as well defined here as in other parts of the 
chamber, probably because the slanting wall of the cave afforded 
but little headroom at this point. Flat stones had been placed 
about the sides of the hole to protect the jar, and a flat stone had 
been used to cover it, failing, however, to keep out the sand with 
which it was filled when found. The second pot (fig. 35, a) lay bot-

rounded by four flat stones, the tops of which inclined somewhat 
inward. The space between the slabs and the pot was filled with 
compacted sand and broken stone which had to be picked away be- 
fore the jar could be removed. There seems good reason to believe 
that the presence of the pot was unknown to the builders of the 
cliff-house structure. In trenching the main floor of the cave, four 
cists were found. 
Cist I was apparently an ordinary cliff-house storage hole; it was 
2 feet in diameter by 18 inches deep, and contained nothing of 
interest. 
Cist II was a small depression that had been completely lined 
with a hard, gray, cement-like substance, nicely smoothed on the 
interior to form a cup-shaped receptacle 14 inches in diameter and
