A. These are unshaped building stones. Most of the building blocks used in the dwelling were carefully shaped by the Indians before they were set in place. The walls were built of stone with adobe clay as mortar, much as we would build with brick. When a wall was finished, it was often coated with a layer of clay plaster.
B. These were storage rooms.
C. Each room had individual doorways such as these.
D. Some rooms had ventilation openings or “windows” like this one.
Station 3.
In the corner of the court to your left are corn grinding bins. Women knelt with their heels against the wall and ground corn, dried nuts, berries and roots on the large flat stone, the metate, with the small hand stone, the mano.
The circular room directly ahead of you is one of two found in this dwelling. Circular rooms were not common but they have been found in several ruins.
The Second Court. Main street section.
Note the passageway or “street” which provided access to rooms at the back of the cave in this part of the dwelling.
