- SPRUCE TREE HOUSE
-
-
-Station 1. Spruce Tree House is the third largest cliff dwelling in
-Mesa Verde National Park. It is built in a natural cave 216 feet in
-length, 89 feet in greatest depth, and 60 feet in greatest height. The
-complete dwelling contained about 114 rooms. Most of these were living
-rooms, but there were many storerooms and 8 ceremonial rooms. It is
-thought that between 200 and 250 people may have lived in this cliff
-house at one time. It was occupied from about A.D. 1200 to, or shortly
-before, A.D. 1300.
-
- [Illustration: _The First Court_]
-
-
-Station 2. Spruce Tree House is typical of the larger cliff dwellings
-found in the Mesa Verde. It consists of several groups or blocks of
-rooms around open courts. Within each court is an underground ceremonial
-room called a kiva (Key-vah). Originally, there were flat roofs on these
-kivas. These roofs formed the courtyard floor and provided work space
-for daily activities. The rooms around the court were used primarily for
-sleeping and storage and for shelter against the cold of winter.
-
-The rooms are generally small, averaging 6 by 8 feet and 5½ feet high.
-Floors and roofs of the second and third stories were made of large
-poles covered with smaller sticks, then bark or grass, and a thick layer
-of clay. A few of the rooms had fireplaces but most were without
-interior light or heat. Probably one family occupied a room.
-
-Compare the picture of the First Court with the dwelling to locate the
-following:
-
-A. These are unshaped building stones. Most of the building blocks used
-in the dwelling were carefully shaped by the Indians before they were
-set in place. The walls were built of stone with adobe clay as mortar,
-much as we would build with brick. When a wall was finished, it was
-often coated with a layer of clay plaster.
-
-B. These were storage rooms.
-
-C. Each room had individual doorways such as these.
-
-D. Some rooms had ventilation openings or “windows” like this one.
-
-
-Station 3. In the corner of the court to your left are corn grinding
-bins. Women knelt with their heels against the wall and ground corn,
-dried nuts, berries and roots on the large flat stone, the metate, with
-the small hand stone, the mano.
-
-The circular room directly ahead of you is one of two found in this
-dwelling. Circular rooms were not common but they have been found in
-several ruins.
-
- [Illustration: _The Second Court. Main street section._]
-
-Note the passageway or “street” which provided access to rooms at the
-back of the cave in this part of the dwelling.
-
- [Illustration: _Ground plan of a kiva._]
-
- Sipapu
- Pilasters
- Banquette
- Firepit
- Deflector
- Ventilator Shaft
-
-Step into the courtyard and look into the kiva. The name kiva is a
-modern Hopi Indian word meaning ceremonial room. Judging by present day
-Pueblo Indian custom, generally only men would be members of kiva
-societies which performed religious ceremonies for bringing rain, good
-crops and general well-being to the village. Women undoubtedly assisted
-in some ceremonies. When no rituals were being held, the kiva probably
-was used as a clubroom and workroom by men.
-
-The _ventilator shaft_ brought fresh air into the kiva. The _deflector_
-was a baffle to keep the air from blowing directly across the _firepit_
-in the floor. The fire provided light and warmth. The _sipapu_
-(see-pah-pooh) was a symbolic opening from the underworld of the gods
-and spirits. The bench, or _banquette_, was a shelf or storage space.
-The _pilasters_, of which there are generally six, were roof supports.
-Entrance to the kiva was by means of a ladder through a hatchway in the
-roof.
-
-If you want to go into a kiva, climb down the ladder in front of the
-next courtyard. Notice the cribbed roof. This is a restoration copied
-from originals found in place in other ruins.
-
-
-Station 4. Behind the rooms in this part of the dwelling is a large
-enclosed area which was used as a trash room. The villagers also kept
-some of their domesticated turkeys penned up in it. The main village
-trash dump was the talus slope on which you are now standing.
-
-The black stain on the cave roof is smoke.
-
-Notice the wall decorations on the second floor room to the left. It was
-made by plastering colored clay on the walls. Many rooms were once
-decorated inside like this one.

-
-
-Station 5. Spruce Tree House 700 years ago was a thriving village. If
-you could have visited it you would have seen women busily cooking over
-firepits in the courtyards, others grinding corn, weaving baskets or
-making pottery. Men who were not tending their mesa-top fields might
-have been building a new room, making or mending their tools or
-performing an age-old ceremony in one of the kivas. You would have seen
-children playing and old people resting against the low wall across the
-front of the dwelling as they basked in the warm sun dreaming of their
-younger days. There would also be dogs and turkeys wandering through the
-village and picking over the trash dump for bits to eat. Unfortunately,
-this all came to an end shortly before A.D. 1300.
-
- [Illustration: uncaptioned]
-
-Compare the illustration with the dwelling to locate the following:
-
-A. These are doorways. Some are T-shaped, some are rectangular, but we
-don’t know why the two types. Notice that some of the doorways were
-closed with stone slabs.
-
-B. These original timbers supported a balcony as well as the floors in
-the rooms. Balconies made it easy to get into the upper rooms. Balconies
-and rooftops were reached by ladders.
-
-C. Most of the cooking was done outside in the courtyards over firepits
-like this one. Very few of the rooms had firepits in them.
-
-D. This was a storage bin made of sandstone slabs.
-
-E. The courtyard was the scene of most of the daily activities—grinding
-corn, preparing food, making tools, pottery, etc.
-
-F. The ladders lead to kivas beneath the courtyard. These ladders and
-kiva roofs have been restored.
-
- [Illustration: _Spruce Tree House from the north end_]
-
-
-Station 6. The cliff dwelling was named Spruce Tree House by the
-ranchers who first discovered it in 1888. A large tree which they
-misidentified as a spruce tree was found growing against the cliff right
-in front of the dwelling. It is said that the men first entered the ruin
-by climbing down this tree.
-
-This is a good place to take a picture.

-
- GENERAL INFORMATION
-
-
-Spruce Tree House is the third largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde
-National Park. It is located in Spruce Tree Canyon, a branch of the much
-larger Navajo Canyon. The cave, which is really a very large overhang,
-was formed by flaking or spalling of the cliff above a small
-seep-spring, and by freezing and thawing during the winter. There is no
-evidence that the Indians tried to shape or enlarge the caves; to do so
-would have been a tremendous task with their primitive tools.
-
-Spruce Tree House was an Indian village and, like towns and villages
-today, it was not all built at one time; rather, it grew section by
-section over a period of years. Sometime around A.D. 1200 a group of
-Indians—perhaps related families—moved into the cave and built the first
-units. Each unit consisted of living and storage rooms clustered about
-an open court which contained a kiva. The courtyard and kiva probably
-served as a center for the social and religious activities of the group.
-New units were added to the structure as other families moved into the
-village. When people needed more space, they added new rooms alongside,
-in front, in back, or on top of the existing rooms. Shortly before A.D.
-1300 when the Indians finally abandoned Spruce Tree House, the village
-contained 114 rooms.
-
-The ground plan on Page 6 shows the arrangement of the rooms. Most of
-these were in double rows within the cave; in some places there were
-three rows. The interior rooms, dark and poorly ventilated, were
-probably used for storage. The central portion of the structure was
-built three stories high and reached the cave ceiling; most of the
-buildings, however, were only two stories in height.
-
-To us these small rooms seem cramped, cold, and dark—quite unsuitable as
-living spaces. But these people probably spent little time inside the
-rooms, using them mainly for protection against the cold, for sleeping,
-and for storage. Most of the time they were probably out in the
-courtyards or on the flat rooftops working or carrying on other daily
-activities.
-
-It is unlikely that all 114 rooms in Spruce Tree House were in use at
-the same time. New rooms were built as older ones fell into decay;
-smaller rooms were probably vacated for larger ones as the number of
-villagers increased. A conservative guess sets 200 to 250 as the largest
-number of people who lived in Spruce Tree House at any one time.
-
-The Indians of the Mesa Verde, like their neighbors in the surrounding
-areas, were dry-farmers—depending upon rainfall to water their crops. In
-the fields on the mesa tops they grew corn, beans and several varieties
-of squash. The rainfall probably averaged about 18 inches a year, just
-as it does now, which is more than sufficient for dry-farming. The
-Indians supplemented their diet with wild roots, nuts and berries as
-well as with meat from large and small game animals.
-
-The period of the cliff dwellings is known as the Classic Period and
-marks the climax of Pueblo culture in this region. The Mesa Verde people
-made beautiful pottery and decorated it elaborately with geometric and
-animal figures in black on a white or light-gray background. They also
-made cotton cloth which they often decorated with colored designs. Their
-masonry was of exceptional quality with the building blocks beautifully
-shaped and carefully laid in clay mortar.
-
-The Classic Period came to an end shortly before A.D. 1300 when the
-Indians abandoned their homes in the Mesa Verde and moved away. We can
-only guess the reasons for such a move. One suggestion is that the great
-drouth, which lasted from A.D. 1276 to A.D. 1299, caused them to leave.
-Another suggestion is that this was a period of strife either between
-the villages themselves or between these village people and nomadic
-groups moving into the area. Whatever the reasons, the cliff dwellings
-of the Mesa Verde were empty by A.D. 1300.
-
-It was a rancher from Mancos, named Richard Wetherill, who first
-discovered Spruce Tree House—on December 18, 1888. He and his
-brother-in-law, Charley Mason, also discovered Cliff Palace that same
-day. The men had been looking for lost cattle when they first saw the
-cliff ruins.
-
- [Illustration: _Spruce Tree ruin before excavation._]
-
- [Illustration: _And the ruin after excavation and stabilization._]
-
-In 1906 Mesa Verde was set aside as a National Park by Act of Congress
-to protect and preserve these dwellings of the prehistoric Indians. In
-1908 Dr. Jesse Walter Fewkes of the Smithsonian Institution excavated
-Spruce Tree House. He removed the debris of fallen walls and collapsed
-roofs and stabilized the dwellings more or less as you see them now. It
-has been necessary, of course, to further stabilize the walls from time
-to time, but aside from minor repairs and the roofing of the three
-kivas, the dwelling is original work done by the Indians some 700 to 800
-years ago.
-
-The dating of Spruce Tree House and other ruins in the Mesa Verde has
-been done by the study of tree-rings from original roofing timbers. If
-you are interested in how archæologists determine the dates, see the
-exhibit on tree-ring dating in the museum.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
