General Location
Central portion of site.
Specific Location
West-central portion of Block 200. South of Structure 224.
Selection Criteria
2-x-2-m unit judgmentally placed south of Structure 224 to sample associated midden deposits; exposed Nonstructure 252.
Use
This is an extramural surface on which a masonry wall, Feature 1 (wall: other) was constructed. This wall was truncated by plowing, therefore it was unclear if this was once part of a structure.
Abandonment
This surface was no longer used after the late Pueblo II period.
Postabandonment Process
Secondary refuse (Nonstructure 238) was deposited above this surface. Natural sediments accumulated above the refuse; the upper deposits were disturbed by plowing.
Dating of Construction
