Location
2-x-2 meter grid unit 1416N 488.5E.
Just east of the center of the site.
Located in the north-central portion of Block 100, approximately 5 m north of Structure 102 (the Great Kiva) and 3 m south of Structure 312.
Selection Criteria
Judgmental. This unit was selected to test an area where a remote sensing anomaly was present.
Excavation Strategy
Natural strata.
Unit Ends at
Undisturbed native sediment. Excavations were terminated at Surface 1 (the prehistoric ground surface) at an elevation of approximately 100.30 m. Fill continued into a pit room Structure 124; sterile sediment was encountered at an elevation of approximately 99.95 m.
