The latter though, as well as Castañeda and Jaramillo, mentions evidently building _A_, but there cannot be the slightest doubt that _B_ was erected for the same purpose; to wit, as a dwelling. [106] They are evidently moulded. Their size is about 0.28 m. × 15 m.--11 in. × 6 in.--and straw is mixed with the soil. The appearance is very much as if the adobe had been put in as a "mending;" and I am decidedly of the opinion that the northern section is the latest, and erected after 1540. [107] It is very much like the stone-work of the Moqui Pueblos in Arizona, according to the photographs in possession of the Bureau of Ethnology at Washington, D. C.; and in some respects to the walls of the great house described by the Hon. L. H. Morgan, _On the Ruins of an Ancient Stone Pueblo on the Animas River, Eleventh and Twelfth Reports of the Peabody Museum of Archæology_, etc.; also to those figured by Dr. William H. Jackson, _Tenth Annual Report of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories_, 1878, plate lxii. fig. 1, from the Ruins of the Rio Chaco. Compare photograph No. 6. I am led to suspect that the greater or less regularity of the courses was entirely dependent upon the kind of stone on hand, and not upon the mechanical skill employed.
