The oldest form of kiva seems to have been circular, and some of these are still used in Rio Grande pueblos, as Santo Domingo, Santa Clara, and Nambe, al- though in this section, where Spanish in- fluence was strongest, the persistence of this type might be least expected. At Zuiii and in the Hopi villages, on the other hand, the kivas are rectangular, in the latter wholly or partly underground and usually isolated,in the former partly subterranean and forming part of the vil- lage cluster. Originally the Zuili kivas were in the courtyards of the villages, but, probably ])y reason of Spanish re- strictions, their situation was later hidden among the dwellings, where they are today. The number of kivas in a pueblovaried with its size and thenumber of the religious organizations using them. Oraibi alone has 13 kivas, while some of the smaller pueblos contain but one. Those of the Hopi, which number 33, are rectangular, and are generally so built that they are approximately on a n. and.
