A man stands next to an adobe ring in the foreground of this view of Step House while it's under excavation. He holds a shovel in his right hand and props it up on the ledge above the adobe ring near a pile of rocks. The rocks may be part of a crude masonry room in the back of the cave. A cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park, Step House is under a large rock overhang.
