Specific Location

Nonstructure 110 is approximately 15m southeast of Structure 101-102-114.

Selection Criteria

Nonstructure 110 is used to investigate the presence of additional postholes, previously identified in an adjacent midden unit.

Use

Nonstructure 110 defines an extramural surface into which at least two postholes were dug.

Abandonment

Nonstructure 110 exists at the base of a plowzone, so any evidence of how the study unit was abaonded was removed through plowing.
