We found remains of those continuing second-type units under- 

 neath the floors of Rooms 25, 106, and 336. Pepper (1920, pp. 98- 

 111) describes 25 as an "open room" containing a vast assortment of 

 discarded materials and separates it into an "upper, or new part" 

 and a "lower" part. Therein lies our principal interest in Room 25 

 for the "new part" features third-type masonry and thus identifies 

 it with the Late Bonitians' second reconstruction program while the 

 "lower" part is what remains of a room demolished in the path of that 

 program. 



The north wall of Room 25 and the lower half of its east side have 

 survived from the original second-type room and have been incor- 

 porated in its third-type replacement. The south and west sides of 

 the earlier structure, however, were largely razed and "new" walls 

 were erected above their remains although not along the same lines. 

 This misalinement accounts for the fact that the south end of the 

 rebuilt room, 14 feet 4 inches wide, is twice that of the north end. 



Subfloor in the northwest corner of this rebuilt room the partially 

 razed west side of the earlier is crossed by the "new" west wall. The 

 upper 3 feet of that older, second-type masonry had been replaced 

 with foundationlike stonework to serve as support for the third- 

 type wall above while the lower 2 feet remains typical of its period 

 and is identical with that in the empty second-type rooms north to 

 116 and beyond. It was this surviving portion of the older structure, 

 5 feet 3 inches deep, filled with debris of demolition and floored over, 

 that became the "lower" part of Pepper's description. 



Following excavation. Room 25 was repaired and reroofed by 

 Richard Wetherill for his own purposes. An east door was blocked ; 

 that on the west side was enlarged and barricaded; a hole broken 

 through the north wall into the V-shaped space outside Room 320 

 (unpublished Hyde prints 305 and 440) was also closed, and five 

 select pine ceiling poles were among those comprising the new roof. 

 In 1959 Room 25 was utilized for storage by local Park Service per- 

 sonnel and, for reasons unknown to the present writer, was referred 

 to as "the Judd room." 



The two unpublished Hyde prints cited above also show an out- 

 ward flare at the base of the north wall as though the Late Bonitian 

 builders of Room 25 had closely followed the external slope of Old 

 Bonitian 320. In his description of 25 Pepper (ibid., p. 98) directed 

 attention to a sandstone disk embedded in the second-story north 

 masonry. Another such disk occurs low in the south wall of 106 

 (ibid., p. 325) and yet another appears in the north side of Room 303.
