United States National Museum Bulletin 87 PDF Download

Excerpt from United States National Museum Bulletin 87: Culture of the Ancient Pueblos of the Upper Gila River Region, New Mexico and Arizona It might well be true that in the earliest time the cave was a shelter for bear, and the well packed mass of grass and leaves of plants over the irregular floor may have been the bedding of these animals. This mass is new packed densely and contains little of the personal effects Of human beings; but instead of being the work of bears it may have been the couch of women and children, who in early Pueblo times slept deep in the shelter of the cave in the darkness behind the screen Of houses, where the men held guard with bow never far from hand.
