Round firepit near center; east face, slab- lined; pot rests(?) in firepit. East of firepit is deflector. Earthen bench provided with edge-joint consisting of a log; is pierced by ventilator tunnel, face of which is horse- shoe-shaped ring slab. Pit in top of east bench contained four hammerstones. Arrow (50 cm. long) points north, meter stick on bench. General Remarks.—Since the walls and floor of room 41 were built over the kiva, it is obvious that the kiva was built and used before the exist- ence of room 41. The floor of the kiva was laid on top of a floor of a pit house that belonged to the Forestdale Phase ( 600-800). The rectangular shape of this kiva is similar to others of this time period in the area of the Upper Little Colorado Drainage and, of course, to kivas of the same period in the Hopi country. Many artifacts were found on the floor and a few on the bench. From the floor: bone rings and raw materials for making rings; a projectile point; 3 scrapers; 7 ham- merstones; 3 choppers; 2 one-hand manos; fragments of 7 other manos; 5 stream pebbles, some of which were large enough to serve as seats; 3 bone awls; one marked slab of wood (altar piece?); splints of yucca; a "brush" of twigs; a corn stalk with corn cob attached; corn cobs (25); squash seeds; pieces of twilled matting; 2 ribs of a very large mammal; one corrugated jar (small); 2 stone "tinklers"; on the bench: 1 deer antler and 2 deer legs; 5 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 Martin, Paul S.
