A Kiva at the Cliff Palace

A Kiva at the Cliff Palace

May 26, 2006 — A kiva at the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde. Kivas were ceremonial gathering rooms. There's a vent, a fire pit, and a "sipapu" (the little hole at the bottom right of the photo) that represented a symbolic entrance to the underworld.
