Two men stand above Pithouses A, B and C of Step House, a cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park. The two work to excavate the site that lies under a massive rock wall. Digging tools, including a pick ax in the background and a shovel in the left foreground, lie on the dirt ground. Small piles of rocks are scattered around the sunken pithouses. Pithouse C is the nearest one and has a second, smaller pit in it.
