30 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIOISTAL MUSEUM vol. 7T 



the solid rock floor, measures 2 feet 4 inches (0.71 m.) long by 1& 

 inches (0.40 m.) by 5 inches (0.12 m.) deep. 



When we repaired the upper northwest wall no effort was made 

 to indicate positions for the principal ceiling timbers. 



Room J^. The long room numbered 42 on Douglass's plan is not 

 now traceable, although the ledge which marks its site, especially at 

 the west end next room 23, is wide enough and not too sloping to have 

 supported a room. Debris covering the floor of room 23 extended 

 downward and across the sloping surface of this ledge. No portion 

 of the southeast wall shown by Douglass is evident. 



Room Ji-S^ a dwelling, stands between rooms 48 and 49, above court 

 45. Five medium-sized beams were covered directly with a thick 

 layer of Johnson grass to form its ceiling ; there were no cross poles. 

 In the west corner native rock was worked out to a depth of 16 inches 

 (0.40 m.) ; the remaining floor is a rubbish fill, surfaced with adobe. 

 Part of the southeast wall had fallen, releasing some of the debris. 

 Two feet four inches of the northeast wall consists of room 51 stone- 

 work; the remainder, of wattle (now mostly destroyed), apparently 

 replaced a masonry wall 7 inches (0.17 m.) thicker. The southwest 

 side, also of wattle, was built in after completion of the roof which 

 covers both rooms 43 and 48. All four walls are heavily smoke 

 stained. 



A door through the middle of the northeast wattled wall has four 

 thin strips of split cedar to support its stone lintel ; as usual, a slab 

 forms its sill. Another door, 16 by 20 inches (0.40 by 0.50 m.) , opens 

 through the middle southwest side ; its sill is a slab on edge, 11 inches 

 high. A fireplace, now broken but probably slab-lined, lies 15 inches 

 (0.38 m.) inside the northeast door. We observed no trace of a 

 screen. 



In 1917 we propped a broken beam with a post, replaced two other 

 beams, patched the roof edges with willows and cedar bark, repaired 

 the broken southeast wall, and filled the floor break above noted. 



Room li-Jf,^ above and northwest of room 51, is a storeroom. On 

 account of the sloping cliff at the northwest the floor area is re- 

 duced to half that of the ceiling. Two large slabs of rock had 

 slipped down the cliff (pi. 13 B), breaking the northeast wall and 

 pushing it outward 7 inches (0.17 m.) from its original position. 

 The southwest side was built over a ledge which had been worked 

 down within the room. Smoke stains appear on all four walls; 

 more prominently in the south corner. Two narrow, groovelike 

 notches were pecked in the cliff near the west corner, perhaps as 

 beam rests. Only two cross-pole fragments, one at each end of the 

 room, remained in place. 



A former northeast door had been blocked; its jutting lintel slab 

 and the recessed masonry above, form a shelf 6 inches (0.15 m.)
