Compare the illustration with the dwelling to locate the following:
A. These are doorways. Some are T-shaped, some are rectangular, but we don’t know why the two types. Notice that some of the doorways were closed with stone slabs.
B. These original timbers supported a balcony as well as the floors in the rooms. Balconies made it easy to get into the upper rooms. Balconies and rooftops were reached by ladders.
C. Most of the cooking was done outside in the courtyards over firepits like this one. Very few of the rooms had firepits in them.
D. This was a storage bin made of sandstone slabs.
E. The courtyard was the scene of most of the daily activities—grinding corn, preparing food, making tools, pottery, etc.
F. The ladders lead to kivas beneath the courtyard. These ladders and kiva roofs have been restored.
