My tour guide took me to several old Native American ruins in both Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. This little dwelling was in Mystery Valley and he mentioned there are numerous similar ruins like this throughout the Valley's. Hard to imagine how hard a life was in those days...but thank God, they were survivors.
It could have been sort of an isolation chamber for prayer, meditation etc.
An alternate might be live in a tent or brush hut most of the year and retreat into this "cozy" place in the worst parts of winter. And have your food stash in there for those hard times.
