General Location
North part of the site.
Specific Location
South of roomblock in Architectural Block 1100.
Selection Criteria
Encountered during midden sampling.
Use
Outdoor use surface defined by the presence of pit feature (Feature 1); this surface is probably associated with the occupation of Architectural Block 1100.
Abandonment
Not Applicable
Postabandonment Process
Covered by refuse that was probably deposited by the residents of this architectural block; upper portion of this midden might have eroded away.
Dating of Construction
Not constructed, but was used as a surface before refuse (Nonstructure 1106) was deposited.
