GREAT HOUSES AND TOWERS

Great houses and towers differ from pueblos of the pure type but may

often be combined with them, forming composite houses arranged in

clusters called villages. Castles and towers may be isolated structures

without additional chambers, or may have many annexed rooms which

are rectangular, round, or semicircular in form. Semicircular towers

surrounded by concentric curved walls connected by radial partitions

forming compartments are shown in Horseshoe Ruin, to which attention

has been called in preceding pages, and possibly in the circular or

semicircular ruins on hilltops near Dolores.
