Structure 29-S, masonry surface structure
About this Structure
General Location
Northeast corner of site. Part of rim complex; rests on canyon rim.
Specific Location
West of Structure 28-S (a tower) and northwest of Structure 6-S (a kiva).
Interpretive Type
Not assigned.
Structure Use
Since this structure was not excavated, data are limited; based on surface remains, this may be a room; this structure may be part of an architectural unit that also includes a kiva (Structure 6-S) and a tower (Structure 28-S); the only secondary refuse deposits from the rim complex are from the area immediately east of this possible architectural unit (Nonstructures 2.4-N); if these midden deposits originated from this architectural unit, these buildings may have been used for residential purposes; the presence of a residence within the rim complex would be significant because the rim complex has been hypothesized as a public, nonresidential area.
Dating
Abandonment
No evidence.
Postabandonment
Structure has partly collapsed.
Excavation Details
No excavations took place inside this structure.
