Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the Superintendent of the Mesa Verde National Park and J. Walter Fewkes, in Charge of Excavation and Repair of Ruins, to the Secretary of the Interior, 1908 The intention of the author has not been the reconstruction but the repair of Spruce Tree House. Walls in danger of falling, especially those that have suffered a thrust from the perpendicular, have been so treated as to prevent their falling. No radical reconstruction of rooms has been attempted; the walls have not been built up, but the sky lines remain practically as they were before the excavations were begun. It was found in excavating kivas and those rooms situated in front of the Village that a considerable repair of walls was necessary to preserve the original structure of the rooms and their connection with those chambers situated in the deeper re ions of the cavern. The defensive wall forming the front of the Vi lage had to be built u in places above the level of the plazas Some sections of the plaza floor were so damaged that much work was necessary to restore them to their former level.
