Cliff Palace. We did not get to walk around this one. |
Another cliff dwelling. They were everywhere. |
Tower house. |
This is a reconstructed kiva. They believe they were for ceremonies. |
A kiva with the roof removed. Note the upright stone. It's an air baffle to deflect the air from the hole in the wall away from the fire pit. Very clever. |
