STRUCTURE DATING

Abandonment
The absence of secondary refuse in the room fill suggests that the room was abandoned at the same time as the rest of this kiva suite. The tree-ring cutting dates from associated Structure 501 (kiva), indicate that abandonment of the kiva suite occurred sometime after A.D. 1252.
Construction
No means by which to date construction of this room, although it appears to have been built at the same time as Structure 511. The only tree-ring cutting dates from this kiva suite are from Structure 501 (kiva), and the preferred interpretation of those dates is that the kiva was built around A.D. 1252. Structure 510 was probably built within a few years of that.
Remodeling
None noted.
Reuse
None.
