About this Nonstructure
General Location
Arbitrary 105 is located in the northern portion of site.
Specific Location
Arbitrary 105 is the area just north of Structure 101-102-114 investigating an electrical resistance anomaly.
Selection Criteria
Arbitrary 105 was used to designate the overburden and plowzone sediments overlying an electrical resistance anomaly north of Structure 101-102-114.
Use
Arbitrary 105 defines post-occupational sediments as a result of agricultural activities in the area (plowzone).
Abandonment
The artifact assemblage dates from the Basketmaker III through the Pueblo II period indicating ancestral Pueblo occupation ended in the Pueblo II period.
Postabandonment Process
Arbitrary 105 has been used historically and recently as a wheat field and cattle pasture.
Dating of Construction
Based on the artifact assemblage, the sediments date from the Basketmaker III through the Pueblo II period as a result of plowing activities post-occupation.
