northeast walls of room 49 and 50 once stood. Other wall! seatings; 

 in this section are less certain. 



Room 107 stood next on the east of room 53, but our excavations 

 exposed only a single fragment of its northeast wall. This abutted. 

 the southeast side of room 101 near the outer east corner of room 

 64^65. Subsequently we restored this small section. (PI. 15, B.) 

 The former position of the southeast wall has been lost with disinte- 

 gration of the cave floor. 



RooTTis 108-109. A pecked groove and the apparently worked ap- 

 pearance of the disintegrated sandstone below rooms 101 and 102 sug- 

 gests the former presence of two rooms no wall of which remained in 

 1917. Masses of adobe-covered grass flooring had slid down slope 

 from rooms 64, 101, and 102, and were removed from this area during: 

 our preparatory excavations. 



Rooms 110-113. Fragments of flooring in place above the north 

 wall of room 55 indicated the former presence of dwellings, bat we 

 observed no pecked holes or grooves that would serve to mark the 

 position of masonry walls. There had been much seepage through- 

 out this portion of the cave with resultant disintegration of the sand- 

 stone; blown sand had lodged here and in it trees and shrubs had 

 taken root. (PI. 6, A.) 



A narrow ledge between the steep, upper cave floor, and the prob- 

 able north line of this room series marks the old trail which led past, 

 rooms 117 and 122 to room 73 and the upper east end of the village. 



Room^ llJ^-115. The ledge face which formed the north wall of 

 room 55, continuing to the eastward, underlay the south walls of two 

 rooms whose respective floor levels are indicated by pecked-out 

 areas. The floor of room 114 was approximately 2 feet (0.60 m.) 

 below that of room 115. A portion of the east wall of room 115. 

 remained in position ; the other walls were not traceable in 1917. 



Buried in the accumulated debris removed from this area was an 

 infant's skeleton, the only burial we found. 



Room 116. Disintegrated portions of the east and west sides were 

 found, resting on steps pecked in the sloping sandstone. Although 

 the south wall was missing, its former position was plainly marked 

 by a groove along the cliff edge. Two other pecked grooves, appar- 

 ently incomplete, extend northwestwardlj^ up the slope from the 

 southeast corner of the room. Fully 3 feet of debris against the 

 inside south wall was necessarj^ to complete the floor level, repre- 

 sented by a worked-out section on the cliff face. 



Following excavation we partially reconstructed the fragmentary 

 east and west walls. 



Room 117, north of room 121 and northwest of room 66 in the 

 middle north portion of the cave, was set aside for the grinding of
