In one room, scattered here and there were corncobs, squash stems, beans, and the remains of several stone hoes. A large clay storage pot was found in the right rear corner. By its side, a food grinder was propped up and ready for use. Did we discover the remains of a farmer’s home?
Tragedy
Buried in the room directly behind and above the preceding one were the remains of three infants. The Hopi Indians of northern Arizona believe in burying a child near the mother so that its spirit may enter another newborn. Does the discovery of these burials shed light on the spiritual beliefs of the parents?
Clever housekeeping
Clay pot
In a room to the left of the child burials a large clay pot was found propped against a firepit. Was this arrangement accidental? Or, did some prehistoric housekeeper devise a method for keeping water hot?
