General Location

West-central portion of site.

Specific Location

Central portion of Architectural Block 100; below Nonstructure 155; 490.7N 513.7E.

Selection Criteria

2.55-x-1-m unit judgmentally placed to determine if a masonry wall was present along the southern portion of the test unit.

Use

Nonstructure 9001 is an extramural surface from which two pits (Features 1 and 2) were excavated into undisturbed native sediment. The surface was most likely used in the Early Pueblo III period. This inference is based on Nonstructure 155 deposits located above the surface that date to the Early Pueblo III period.

Abandonment

Nonstructure 9001 was no longer used when Nonstructure 155 secondary refuse was deposited above the surface.

Postabandonment Process

Nonstructure 155 refuse was deposited above Nonstructure 155.
