A Large Hewn Plank from Mesa Verde, Colorado1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2018
Abstract
A large pine plank was removed from a cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde in 1889. This plank, which had been shaped by charring and stone tools, measured 3.4 m. long, 0.49 m. wide, and 0.08 m. thick. Although its original provenience is not known, the plank probably came from the great kiva in Fire Temple, where it may have served as a vault cover or as a lintel over a double doorway in the east wall.
