46 PROCEEDIlSrGS OF THE ISTATIOlSrAL MUSEUM vol. 77 



There are no similar seatings on this same bench face below room 93, 

 which fact, together with the presence of large rocks, suggests that 

 imexcavated room 94 is smaller than Douglass has indicated. 



Room 95 is a dwelling on the same ledge with, and south of, room 

 93. Its north and south walls are of masonry ; the west has vanished. 

 Traces of smoke adhere to all standing walls. The ledge surface had 

 been pecked down to a depth of 22 inches (0.56 m.) at the northeast 

 and 27 inches (0.68 m.) at the southeast, but the west side of the 

 floor was filled in. Near the west end of the south wall is the east 

 jamb of a former T-shaped door, the only one observed in Betatakin. 

 Its upper portion, about 20 inches (0.51 m.) high, is set back 4 

 inches (0.10 m.) from the lower, 13 inches high. A protruding 

 rock east of this door had been partially severed with stone saws. 



Just within the door is a platform, 23 inches (0.58 m.) wide by 

 10 inches (0.25 m.) high; at its north side stands a masonry fire 

 screen, 10 inches (0.25 m.) thick, 3 feet 5 inches (1.04 m.) long and 

 now 21 inches (0.53 m.) high. Pecked in the rock floor at the north 

 base of this screen is a fireplace measuring 13 by 18 inches (0.33 by 

 0.45 m.) by 7 inches (0.17 m.) deep. Three feet 5 inches from the 

 north wall and 37 inches (0.94 m.) from the cliff a pecked hole, 3 

 inches (0.07 m.) in diameter by 214 inches (0.05 m.) deep, contains 

 a single stick as a loom anchor. 



A large rock lies south of room 95 and beyond it is space for two 

 rooms. The ledge surface here has been leveled by battering with 

 hammerstones, but no beam rests appear in the cliff and only one 

 masonry wall fragment, at the southwest corner of the floor area, is 

 evident. Daubs of colored mud had been thrown against the cliff; 

 here, also, is a rudely painted white square with sides 2 inches wide 

 and, high above, the rude representation, also in white, of a mountain 

 sheep. 



Room 96. Visible wall fragments on the talus below the two 

 probable chambers on the ledge south of room 95 suggest a former 

 irregular retaining wall extending to the outer southwest corner of 

 room 94. This section remains unexcavated. 



Room 96 is the last indicated on the Douglass ground plan. In 

 1917, however, while clearing Betatakin of debris preparatory to 

 our work of repair, a number of additional structures or traces of 

 them were disclosed in the cave proper. These we have numbered 

 100 and following. 



Room 100, lying between rooms 27 and 29 and entered from court 

 28, could have answered only for storage. Its north wall is the face 

 of a cliff terrace, with superimposed masonry; its floor is of native 

 rock, seamed and uneven. Three northwest-southeast beams sup- 

 port eight aspen cross poles with layers of willows, Johnson grass.
