Since the Spanish introduced wheat to the Southwest in the seventeenth
century, the Pueblo Indians have baked bread in ovens called hornos. 
These beehive-shaped ovens are built out of adobe bricks, made from
sun-dried earth and straw, from which the Indians also make their
buildings.  In this photograph, a contemporary Pueblo woman uses a
long-handled tool to place a loaf of bread in the oven.  Many aspects of
traditional pueblo like, such as the interconnected adobe buildings,
crafts, farming and cooking methods, are still carried on in these
villages, many of which have been inhabited continuously for hundreds of
years.
