 of the same color as the surrounding soil and frequently were distinguished 

 only by the small roots which followed their sun-dried surfaces. 



Fig. 108. — Circular kiva nr ceremonial nmni, I'aragunah, Utah. Attempts to 

 brace the thin earthen wall at the left had proved unsuccessful ; its linal collapse 

 probably hastened the abandonment of the structure. Upon this sloping wall, 

 near the end of the long shadow, is a fireplace which belonged to a temporary 

 shelter, erected subsequently to the destruction of the kiva.
