It has already become obvious that as the size of the ruins diminishes
the number increases. An estimate of the number of these tiny ruins
would sound unreasonable. It probably is safe to say, however, that
there may be as many of these very small ruins as there are of all the
others together.
Below are typical examples of the small high ruins that contain from one
to five rooms.
All of the canyons have these very small ruins—a count would run into
the hundreds. In all probability many have not been entered in modern
times for they are so small and high as to be scarcely worth the effort.
Probably some have not even been seen by white men. Since they are
located on cliff faces often they can be seen only from the opposite
canyon wall. And when they are in deep recesses and crevices they can be
seen only from certain points and only when light conditions are exactly
right.
