three stories high and have their roofs still intact. One 
of these chambers, which resembles a tower, has beams pro¬ 
jecting from three sides. 
The rooms of the western part are comparatively large and 
are evidently habitations; those of the ledge range from 10 
to 15 feet wide. Some of these were formerly more than one story 
high. The front wall, now much broken and buried under fallen 
masonry, was exceptionally massive. It formed the outer border 
of the plazas and served as a retaining wall, rendering entrance 
into the cliff-dwelling impossible except at certain places. 
The ceremonial rooms, or kivas, are enclosed in rectangular 
chambers, their tops being at the same level as adjacent plazas. 
The entrance was by a ladder through the middle of the roof 
which is now destroyed. Each kiva had a ventilator by which 
fresh air was introduced at the floor level by means of a ver¬ 
tical passage opening in the plaza. The wall of one kiva was 
decorated with a white band on which was painted a meander de¬ 
sign colored red. Scale: 5 feet to 1 inch. Modeled by 
Cosmos Mindeleff.
