The crude masonry of room 46 required much repair in 1917. The 

 west end of its northwest wall was rebuilt to furnish support for 

 the south corner of room 50, but no attempt was made to show beam 

 seatings. 



Room Jf7^ adjoining room 46 on the east, occupies a sloping rock 

 surface in the lower middle front of the cave. Only the southwest 

 and part of the southeast walls remain. The pecked groove on which 

 the northwest masonry rested continues to the probable north corner 

 where we restored a small section in 1917. The east half of the 

 southeast wall, built on a lower ledge, necessarily includes masonry 

 much higher than that in its west half. Within and against this 

 wall a very considerable fill of debris provided a floor the former 

 level of which is not now evident. 



Room 48 is a small chamber that originally formed part of room 

 43, which it adjoins on the southwest. Its two roof beams support 

 numerous small cedar sticks and a thick layer of Johnson grass. 

 Owing to the sloping cliff on the northwest side, the floor area is 

 reduced to less than half that of its ceiling. For example, the floor 

 measures 2 feet 8 inches (0.81 m.) by 16 inches (0.40 m.), while the 

 ceiling measures 2 feet 8 inches by 4 feet (0.81 by 1.2 m.). The 

 wattled northeast wall is not plastered as is its opposite face in 

 room 43. A triangular space between the cliff and the northeast 

 door is occupied by a single large stone, forming a low shelf 5 by 

 14 inches (0.13 by 0.35 m.). The inner walls are heavily smoked. 



The lower southeast masonry, having fallen, was replaced in 1917 

 (pi. 14, A) and the floor brought up to its former level. 



Room, 49 stands on a ledge northeast of room 43, between rooms 

 50 and 51. The northeast wall has wholly disappeared; the south- 

 east, a fragment only of which remains, formerly concealed a large, 

 rounded rock mass that lay just below the floor level of the east 

 quarter. Absence of seatings for ceiling timbers suggests that room 



49 might have served as a court, its floor at the roof level of room! 



50 or possibly separated from it by low stonework. 



Part of a slab-lined fireplace will be noted against the southeast 

 wall near the south corner. Through the middle southwest wall a 

 door connects with room 43; a second door, whose grooved west 

 jamb only remained, opened into room 51 through the west half of 

 the northwest wall. We partially restored this latter wall and its 

 broken door in 1917. 



Room 50 lies north of court 45, between rooms 46 and 49. Its 

 northeast wall is wholly missing, while that on the northwest is 

 represented merely by sections of masonry at the west corner and 

 under the bowlderlike rock noted below the oast corner of room 49. 

 Of the southeast side, a fragment remains in the south corner; the 

 adjacent southwest wall is complete and shows seven holes left by
