Nankoweap ruins after major restoration of room 3 (from left), photographed 9/16/2015, Grand Canyon National Park. Because these "rooms" are quite small, they have been considered to be grain storage bins, but they are not sealed from rodents, as are grain storage structures elsewhere in the southwest, and Room 4 has a window, suggesting habitation. Grain could be stored in clay pots with tight lids. © David A. Ponton [Large file suitable for large print or wall panel]
