Small Kiva

This circular row of stones outlines
a kiva (ceremonial room). Usually
kivas were built mostly underground,
but the Kaibab Limestone in this
region prevented digging very deep.

Sometime during the occupation of
the pueblo, this kiva burned. Rather
than rebuild here, another kiva was
built nearby to replace it.
