prints are associated with both these groups. Plate 95, a, shows two 
long snakes, a small sheep, an anthropomorph (?), and some hand 
prints, all done in white paint; plate 95, b, is a circular red painting 
accompanied by two other objects of unknown meaning. The former 
has been much battered and is also touched up with charcoal, pre- 
sumably by Navaho. 
SQUARE-SHOULDERED FIGurEs 
These large and very peculiar anthropomorphic representations we 
believe to be of Basket Maker origin, because we found them on 
the walls of the strictly Basket Maker Cave II and because at 
Ruin 4, where they are very abundant, 
they and their attendant hand prints are 
obviously older than the Cliff-house struc- 
ture. Similar figures are also common in 
Butler’s Wash, Grand Gulch, and other 
typically Basket Maker canyons, and are, 
so far as we know, absent from the Mesa 
Verde and other localities which the 
Basket Makers do not seem to have in- 
habited. These paintings are all much 
alike (figs. 100, 101, and pls. 96, 97, @) ; 
Tie. 401,22 Bitnkeshoniaerea, SUL sro, Rumi horns with triangular 
painted figure. bodies, long arms and legs and small 
heads. They range in height from 1 foot 
to 5 feet, and are usually roughly daubed on the rocks in chalky 
white paint. The bodies of a number of them bear zigzag decora- 
tions in red and yellow (figs. 100, 101), and some show headdresses 
or perhaps hairdressing. In plate 97, a, may be seen two series of 
small red squares arranged in step formation; these appear to be of 
the same period as the white paintings. 
Navano PicroGrRaPHs 
During the course of our explorations we collected a few drawings 
which, because of their freshness and of the nature of their subjects, 
we can assign to a very recent period. We saw some of them being 
drawn by Navaho children, and all are probably of Navaho origin. 
Charcoal seems to be the favorite medium, the walls of many caves, 
particularly those of Cave I, being decorated with scrawly pictures 
of men on horseback, sheep, cattle, wagons, and deer; some of these 
charcoal sketches can be made out overlying the large white square- 
shouldered pictographs in plate 97, a. Incised, or rather scratched, 
drawings of the same nature are shown in plate 97, 0, c.
