Algemene aantekening
Archaeologists have three theories regarding ‘Indian Pits’. One is that young Native Americans, during their spirit quest, built the pits. Seeking a spiritual vision, they would fast and sit isolated in the pits for days. Another theory is that the pits were used as hunting blinds. Native American hunters may have hidden in the pits waiting to ambush bird of prey and/or sheep or goats forced upslope by other hunters located in the brush and timber below. The third theory is that the pits were used as food storage areas.
