Interior of Great Kiva

Chaco Culture National Histroical Park, NM

Interior with piller supports, fire box, and drum resonators.
Against the back wall can be seen the bench and in the wall are small niches which contained 17,000
turquoise, shell, and slate-like beads, as well as many turquoise pendants.
These items were probably deposited as offerings to the deities.
