About this Nonstructure
General Location
South-central portion of the site.
Specific Location
Nonstructure 207 is located between Structure 205-226 and 220-234.
Selection Criteria
2-x-2-m units were used to investigate a remote sensing anomaly.
Use
Nonstructure 207 is a midden deposit, likely from Structures 205-226 and 239.
Abandonment
Nonstructure 207 was no longer used after Structures 205-226 and 239 were decommissioned.
Postabandonment Process
Arbitrary 206 was deposited over the top of Nonstructure 207 through natural processes (wind and water).
