Arrow 50 cm. long points north; meter stick in background. Ceiling.—Height not known. On the basis of maximum height of walls yet standing, and fallen wall stones it is estimated to have been about 2 meters high. The method of construction is unknown except by infer- ence. Fragments of wooden roof members (l)eams, poles) cross the shorter dimension of the room. General Comments.—Rim \alley Pueblo was a small pueblo \illage con- sisting of two units l)oth of one story and totaling perhaps twenty-five rooms. The majority of the larger rooms were equipped with firepits, ventilators and other features usually associated with dwelling rooms. A few smaller rooms lacked these features and were probaljly storage rooms. The masonry in general seems quite comparable to that of other pueb- los of roughly the same period and culture (late Reserv^e Phase, early Tularosa Phase) both in the upper Little Colorado drainage and farther to the south and east. Although the particular type of masonry in which rows of large rocks alternate with several courses of smaller rocks is less neat here than it appears in later ruins, it is consistent enough in con- struction so that its position seems definitely to be in that tradition of banded masonry which may have been remotely ins])ired by a style origi- nating in the area of Chaco 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.
