[20] In clearing the kivas several fragments of human bones and skulls were found by the author. The horizontal passageways, called ventilators, of four of the kivas furnished a single broken skull each, which had not been buried with care.
[21] From the great amount of bird-lime and bones in these heaps it has been supposed that turkeys were domesticated and kept in these places.

[23] The text figures which appear in this paper were drawn from nature by Mrs. M. W. Gill, of Forest Glen, Md.
[24] The author is greatly indebted to Mr. A. V. Kidder for aid in sorting and labeling the fragments of pottery. Without his assistance in the field it would have been impossible to repair many of these specimens.
[25] The classification into cavate houses, cliff-dwellings, and pueblos is based on form.
[26] The above classification coincides in some respects with that obtained by using the forms of ceremonial rooms as the basis.
[27] Of 40 pieces of pottery called “Tusayan,” figured in Professor Holmes’ Pottery of the Pueblo Area (Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology), all but three or possibly four came from Chelly canyon and belong to the San Juan rather than to the Hopi ware. Black-and-white pottery is very rare in collections of old Hopi ware, but is most abundant in the cliff-houses of Chelly canyon and the Mesa Verde ruins.
[28] The pottery from ruins in the Little Colorado basin, from Wukoki at Black Falls to the Great Colorado, is more closely allied to that of the drainage of the San Juan and its tributaries.
[29] There is of course very little ancient Zuñi ware in museums, but such as we have justifies the conclusion stated above.
