Detailed explanation-1: -Movement between levels was traditionally accomplished by means of wooden ladders, although staircases are now used as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -A wooden ladder allowed a person to climb out of the house. If no one was living in a pit house, the space could be used to store food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Indians of the southwest made bricks out of dirt and straw and dried them in the sun to build their pueblos. Over time, rain and wind would cause the bricks to “melt” away. Wooden posts inside each room supported the roof which was covered with layers of sticks, then grass, mud, and finally plaster.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the arid Southwest, ladders were precious items, since the wood they were constructed from-tall evergreens such as pine and spruce-had to be harvested hundreds of miles away. Today, most pueblos have ground-level doorways, but ladders are used for reaching upper floors.
Detailed explanation-5: -By walking through the door. By climbing ladders to trapdoors in the roofs.
