During the 2011 investigations at Champagne Spring Ruin located near Dove Creek, Colorado, a kiva dating to the last half of the A.D. 900's was partially excavated. The report describes this formal 'kiva closing' which included the dispatch and formal burial of at least 3 dogs, 10 adult turkeys, a cottontail rabit, a beheaded rattlesnake and numerous poults.
