CONSTRUCTION

Method and Sequence

The construction sequence of this structure is unknown because it was not excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. Structure 121 was inferred when a portion of a wall was exposed in Backhoe Trench 114. Structure 121 was most likely constructed of coursed masonry; it is unknown if the walls of Structure 121 abut or are tied to Structure 104. A prepared adobe floor was probably constructed in Structure 121. The roof was most likely supported on the tops of the walls.
