. Bulletin. Ethnology. KIDDER-GUERXSEY] ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 41 orchard is a one-room cliff-house. Its interior and its roof (which is supplied by the cave) are heavily smoked. On a smooth rock face at one side is a very large pecked representation of a mountain sheep (see pL 89, j). EuiN 5 (Fluteplayer House) The only ruin of considerable size that we were able to find in Hagoe lies in a cave in a short western branch of the canyon. Its exposure is to the south, and, as is alwaj'S the case with sheltered caves at the ground level^ the whole place was covered with a 3 or 4 inch layer of compact sheep dung, which had to be broken to pieces and moved away before any work could be done. On the rocks on either side of the mouth of the draw where the ruin is situated are most interesting and elaborate series of pecked pictographs (see Fig. 15.—Plan of Ruiu 5. 03, h, and fig. 90). One group consists of hump-backed creatures apparently blowing on musical instruments. These suggested the name " Fluteplayer House " for the ruin itself. Though not promising at first glance, Fluteplayer House was the most instructive site exca\ated during the season's work, for it con- tained clear evidence of two distinct ancient cultures, one superim- posed upon the other. The cave that shelters these remains is 100 feet long and 50 feet deep (fig. 15), its floor sloping evenly up from the ground level to the back, a rise of from 15 to 17 feet. A seepage of water from the strata along the back of the cave has wet the lower measures of the culture deposit, and jimson weed and box elders, both of which need some extra degree of moisture, grow about the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
