RUINS OF "CASA BLANCA” 
-i'lw jJLxl, 
iAbt^AKj 
This is one of the most striking and important 
ruins of the eliff groups in the region* It consists of 
two distinct groups - a lower part, comprising a large 
* cluster of rooms on the bottom land against the vertical 
cliff, and a smaller upper part occupying a deep recess 
directly over the lower ruin and separated from it only 
by about 35 feet of nearly vertical cliff. There is 
evidence, however, that some of the houses in the lower 
settlement were four stories high against the cliff and 
that the structures were thus directly connected. The 
lower ruin covers an area of about 150 by 50 feet, raised 
but a few feet above the bottomland, probably by its own 
debris. Within this area there are remains of 45 rooms 
on the ground, in addition to a circular kiva. On the 
east side there are walls still standing to a height of 10 
to 14 feet, It is probable that the upper ruin comprised 
about_35 rooms, which would make a total of 80 rooms in the 
group.
