message: In time, I'll probably withdraw the brief information here on pit houses into an independent article.  They are quite a specific form.  Any objections?  WBardwin 06:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent idea. I was unaware of the importance of pithouses to the evolution of the kiva until I did some reading on them. wvbaileyWvbailey 00:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pit Houses in the American Southwest 

message: I would propose that the Dugout (shelter) article be used as a generic overview of the widespread archictectural type while the Pit-house article focus on the archaeological findings of these forms, particularly in the American Southwest.  The Pit-house title might have to be changed.  Opinions?  WBardwin 01:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd prefer to see Pithouse dedicated to American southwest architectures. When I found that wikipedia included "pithouse" in "dugout" I was startled. For example, as an American westerner my conception of an American-west "dugout" is far different than that of a native-American "pithouse"; dugouts were what pioneers built in a hurry and lived in while they worked on their above-ground homes and then used as root cellars etc as soon as they could vacate them. Like that guy and his wife did up by the gates of Lahore (I think its called) along the Green River in northern Utah. Bill Wvbailey 02:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's what I was suggesting -- Pit-house (archaeology) or Pit-house (American Southwest) or something similar.  So, we agree?   WBardwin 04:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes. But I'd just go with Pit-house (if that's possible). My guess is most folks (kids in particular) would type that in first. Let disambiguation page(s) work out the details. Bill Wvbailey 14:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, complicating this is the existence of the quiggly hole article; a kekuli (prn. "quiggly", and meaning "underneath", "below" in Chinook Jargon, which are similar by the look to the Southwest pit-house.  I vote against the merger with Dugout (shelter) but now wonder about merging quigglies and pithouses....Skookum1 (talk) 16:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
