STOP #11
This small underground room was among the last structures built on this site. Archeologists do not know its purpose, but it resembles a miniature kiva.
The last building on this site was a small pueblo. From the time the Anasazi began to live in above-ground dwellings, their villages usually included open courtyards or plazas. The kivas were located in this area. Modern Pueblo Indians use the plaza as a work area, a place to socialize, and a stage for the dances that are often a part of religious ceremonies.
The palisade was built of upright poles, with branches probably woven between them.
