Floor plan of the nearby Casa Rinconada, probably the most famous of the Chaco Canyon Great Kivas. The plan illustrates the floor-level entryways into the kiva, which necessitate a fire screen to contend with drafts (from The Great Kivas of Chaco Canyon, by Gordon Vivian and Paul Reiter, 1960. School of American Research, Santa Fe, NM).
