Spruce Tree House, part 2

Spruce Tree House is the third largest cliff dwelling in the park containing 130 rooms and 8 kivas for about 100 people.

The Kiva is a round room which was used for ceremonies.  The top picture of these 3 is one of the kivas without a roof, the one on the right is the ladder entrance, and the one just above is the same entrance as seen from outside. There is one kiva that people can go into so Tom climbed down into it.

 

One of the Rangers heard us playing the flutes and stopped to talk.  She told us the archeologists found a wooden flute in the rubble that was about 2 feet long in 3 pieces about 600 years old.
