. Bulletin. Ethnology. KIDDER-GUERNSEY] AECHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 95 with adobe, and joined to the walls with rounded corners; above it were a few inches of rubbish and the surface sand. The com- plete clearing out of the room was rewarded with a large cor- rugated olla (see pi. 58, f/), a spherical black jar (see pi. 59, «), and several typical cliff-house specimens. The first pot (fig. 35, h) was at the back of the room near the side wall of the cave. It had been placed in a hole apparently dug through both floors, though neither floor was as well defined here as in other parts of the chamber, probably because the slanting wall of the cave afforded but little headroom at this point. Flat stones had been placed about the sides of the hole to protect the jar, and a flat stone had been used to cover it, failing, however, to keep out the sand with which it was filled when found. The second pot (fig. 35, a) lay bot- VRESENT CAVE FLOOK. Fig. 35.—Cross section of room in Sunflower Cave. tom up and empty under the unbroken lower floor. It was sur- rounded by four flat stones, the tops of which inclined somewhat inward. The space between the slabs and the pot was filled with compacted sand and broken stone which had to be picked away be- fore the jar could be removed. There seems good reason to believe that the presence of the pot was unlaiown to the builders of the cliff-house structure. In trenching the main floor of the cave, four cists were found. Cist I was apparently an ordinary cliff-house storage hole; it was 2 feet in diameter by 18 inches deep, and contained nothing of interest. Cist II was a small depression that had been completely lined with a hard, gray, cement-like substance, nicely smoothed on the interior to form a cup-shaped receptacle 14 inches in diameter and.
