Pueblo Ovens

I don't know the location or the photographer of this oven, but it certainly looks like a pueblo horno. Because of the dry climate, these ovens are generally not covered.

I've been told that at some pueblos, dogs crawl into the ovens to sleep after they've cooled down sufficiently. I'd sure appreciate a photo of this if anyone out there has one.

The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo (“the Pueblo”) is a federally recognized U.S. American Indian tribe located in West Texas and within El Paso County. The Pueblo is one of three tribes located in Texas and the only Pueblo located in the state. Founded in 1682, after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the tribe has maintained its traditional political system and ceremonial practices and continues to flourish as a Pueblo community. Ysleta del Sur Pueblo has also established itself as an important economic contributor in El Paso’s lower valley.
