130 THE CLIFF RUINS OF CANYON DE CHELLY  [et#.ann.16 
are remains of one sideof a similar opening on the same level. Nostains 
of smoke are found on the exterior coat of plaster in this room, but 
the coats underneath were much blackened. The room north of the 
one described, and adjoining the kiva, was also without a doorway, 
unless it existed in the northeast corner, next the cliff, where no trace 
of walls now remains. The walls of this room, now 6 feet high, were 
plastered and show old smoke stains. The wall on the western side of 
the kiva is very rough, as though at one time another wall existed out- 
sideofit. This is shown in plate L11, which shows also the débris, con- 
sisting of ashes, sheep dung, and refuse, well compacted, upon which 
the wall rests. 

Fig. 28—Ruins on a large rock. 
West of the kiva and on the extreme edge of the cliff are the remains 
of two small apartments, a trifle below the surface of the ledge and with 
a3-foot wall on the south. These are too small for habitations, and 
were used probably for the storage of corn. About 100 feet west of 
tlhe group described, on the same bench, there are remains of a large 
room, divided into two, and of quite rough construction. It contains 
several Navaho dead and may be of Navaho origin. 
A type of site which is abundant in the San Juan country and is 
found in other regions, but is very rare in this, is shown in figure 28.
