Homes and Shelter

  the floor on a multi-storied Pueblo house. The
  beams were made out of small branches and were
  crisscrossed and thickly coded with adobe.

  almost impossible to find, so one room is usually
  the length of a long manageable tree.

  available, such as rabbit, gopher, and squirrel

  Spanish-style oven, as their ancestors hundred of
  years before.
