Kivas - small, round rooms dug into the ground - were an important part of the Anasazi house. They were used for ceremonies and socializing. Kivas functioned like a church as well as a living room. And because Kivas were built underground, their roofs served a purpose too. Anasazi men and women gathered on the roof of the kiva to weave and grind corn and Anasazi children often played there. The roof of the kiva was the Anasazi's courtyard. There are nine kivas at Spruce Tree House. Can you find them all? If you have difficulty identifying all nine, ask a park ranger to give you a hand. Three of the kivas are hard to spot.
