A pithouse was a habitation structure built entirely or partially underground. A kiva is a room (sometimes underground) used for religious purposes. When designating an ancient room as a kiva, archaeologists make assumptions about the room's original functions and how those functions may be similar to or differ from kivas used in modern practice (by modern-day Pueblo Indians).
