About this Nonstructure
General Location
North-central portion of site.
Specific Location
Southeastern portion of Nonstructure 901; 1-x-1-m unit 554N 536E.
Selection Criteria
Fourteenth 1-x-1-m unit randomly selected for excavation in Nonstructure 901. Nonstructure 901 deposits (midden) are above Nonstructure 912.
Use
Extramural surface composed of undisturbed native sediment from which a burial pit for the internment of Human Remains Occurrence 5 was excavated.
Abandonment
This surface was no longer used in the Early Pueblo III period when Human Remains Occurrence 5 was interred and secondary refuse (Nonstructure 901) was deposited above the surface and burial.
Postabandonment Process
Secondary refuse (Nonstructure 901) was deposited above Nonstructure 912. Natural wind and water sediments covered Nonstructure 901 deposits.
Dating of Construction
Based on construction dates for surrounding midden deposits (Nonstructure 901) it is inferred that Nonstructure 912 dates from the Late Pueblo II to the Early Pueblo III period.
Dating of Remodeling
