ARCHITECTURE, 
A further improvement in the chimney was the construction of a 
corner hood support by means of two short poles instead of a single 
piece, thus forming a rectang- 
ular smoke hood of enlarged 
capacity. This latter is the 
most common form in use at 
the present time in both pro- 
vinces, but its arrangement in 
Tusayan, where it represents 
the highest achievement of 
the natives in chimney con- 
struction, is much more varied 
than in Cibola. In’the latter 
province the same form is 
occasionally executed in stone. 
Fig. 61 illustrates a corner 
hood, in which the crossed 
ends of the supporting poles 
are exposed to view. The 
outer end of the lower pole is 
supported from the roof beams

light sticks have been used as a base 
for the plaster. The Tusayans say 
that large sunflower stalks are pre- 
ferred for this purpose on account cf 
their lightness. Figs. 63 and 64 show 
another Tusayan hood of the type de- 
scribed, and in Fig. 69 a large hood of 
the same general form, suspended over 
a piki-stone, is noticeable for the frank 
treatment of the suspending cords, 
which are clearly exposed to view for 
nearly their entire length. 
In a chimney in a Mashongnavi 
house, illustrated in Fig. 62, a simple, 
sharply curved piece of wood has been 
used for the lower rim of this hood, 
thus obtaining all the capacity of the 
two-poled form. The vertical sticks in 
this example are barely discernible 
through the plastering, which has been 
applied with more than the usual de- 
gree of care.
