10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIOISTA-L MUSEUM vol.77 



At the floor level an opening 11 inches (0.27 m.) square connects 

 with room 4. Directly in front of this opening, embedded in the 

 floor of room 3, is a willow loop — one of two loom anchors. The 

 second is wanting, but directly above, two loops still hang from a 

 ceiling cross pole. Four wall pegs remain in position ; holes for four 

 others may be noted. 



A door opens through the north half of the east wall. Just within 

 this door, and formerly protected by a now missing screen, is the 

 fireplace. The retaining wall continuing from court 10 ends against 

 the outer east wall, south of the door. Above its south jamb six 

 shallow holes had been drilled. 



On the cliff face above the roof a " sandal " figure had been pecked ; 

 pointed and flat implements had been sharpened and white paint 

 crudely spread in several places. Above the southeast roof corner 

 one may note portions of a pair of drilled holes on a broken cliff 

 slab. 



Room Jf, adjoins room 3 on the north and is apparently of later con- 

 struction. Its east wall is missing; of the north wall, a section at 

 the northwest corner stands 3 feet (0.91 m.) high against the cliff. 

 Above this fragment and formerly concealed by the wall are several 

 holes, pecked through the cliff corner; two pairs of similar holes on 

 the cliff face had been plastered over. Through the west end of the 

 south wall, 8 inches (0.20 m.) above the floor, a 10 by 18 inch (0.25 

 by 0.46 m.) opening marks the position of a former room 3 door, the 

 lintels of which still show through three coats of plaster. 



In the middle floor is a slab-lined fireplace measuring 16 by 18 

 inches (0.40 by 0.46 m.) ; its deflector slab, standing on the east, sug- 

 gests a former door on that side. 



Room 6, beneath room 6, was used for storage. At least the smoke 

 stains which ordinarily identify a dwelling are lacking. Vertical 

 cliff forms its south and west walls, while the other two are of 

 masonry, freely chinked. The floor, of native rock, is slightly higher 

 than the terrace outside. 



A single beam, paralleling the cliff, supports the ends of six cross 

 poles; upon and at right angles to these are layers of willows and 

 reeds. On the floor we found a cedar pole, slightly shorter than the 

 room length, which may formerly have been an additional ceiling 

 support, since its butt end fitted in a hole at the north side when the 

 opposite end rested on a protruding rock between the main beam and 

 the cliff. Through the middle east wall is a 15 by 24 inch (0.38 by 

 0.61 m.) door whose outer jambs are grooved for the usual slab. A 

 loop fastener appears on the north side only. Four sticks support 

 the sandstone lintel; in its stone sill are two grooves where axes 

 were sharpened.
