CHAPTER III
7/34

Numerous fragments of coarse pottery were scattered around, some gray and some red, but without any decoration, except a fine slip coating on the red fragments.
In the Sierra de Nacori, on the summit of a steep knoll, and at an elevation of about 6,500 feet, we found two huts of such laid-up walls.

The rough felsite blocks of which they were composed were surprisingly large, considering the diminutive size of the cabins.

There were many others almost as large as this one.

But there was only one tier of stones left complete in place.
