NO. I ARCHITECTURE OF PUEBLO BONITO — JUDD II5 



type masonry of its west jamb, plaster adhering, was abruptly replaced 

 by foundation stonework for a third-type construction one course 

 of which survives upon a 3-inch-wide offset at a height of 5 feet (pi. 

 35, left). 



In the upper part of that rebuilt west jamb, just below the 

 offset and 2 feet under the surface, a pair of 4-inch holes mark the 

 positions of horizontal timbers placed there to carry the weight of 

 superposed masonry. With more foundation stonework replacing 

 the original west wall it is obvious that here a building of second-type 

 masonry, its floor at a depth of 7 feet, had given way to one of third- 

 type masonry on a level 5 feet higher. 



That second-type wall separating these two rooms once continued 

 westward under Room 149 and eastward across court to underlie 

 Room 167. In both directions it had fallen victim to salvaging opera- 

 tions. Within 10 feet from the plastered door jamb its eastward ex- 

 tension had been reduced from 40 inches to a couple courses only 

 and thereafter a mid-court section was razed completely to allow for 

 construction of Shrine Room 190 (pi. 35, right). 



A companion wall, 18 inches thick and likewise of second-type 

 masonry, parallels that above at a distance of 7 feet 8 inches. From 

 its east end where it abuts older duplicating masonry 5 feet 8 inches 

 below the surface (pi. 34, upper), this second cross-court wall 

 extends west 64 feet 8 inches and there abuts the middle east side 

 of the north room of our 2-room unit (fig. 4). As with its opposite, 

 this second wall was finished on the outer face only and had been razed 

 irregularly, its height varying from 30 inches at its east end to 49 

 inches half way across the court. Here, at its highest the partially 

 razed wall was buried under debris of demolition with occupational 

 debris piled on top. 



Casual tests along the length of these parallel, second-type under- 

 court walls disclosed abundant evidence of demolition and reconstruc- 

 tion. Wall fragments of varying width and composition were en- 

 countered at various depths but their significance was rarely apparent 

 within the limits of our exploratory trenches. Some fragments were 

 of second-type masonry, some were of third-type and, less frequently, 

 some looked precisely like the best of local fourth-type stonework. 

 As with the two major cross-court walls, these lesser sections were 

 usually finished on one side only. At 21 feet 2 inches west of 

 Room 167 a 16-inch-wide bare foundation joined the two on their 

 associated pavement at depth of 6 feet 9 inches and 12 feet farther
