out on the same level a stub of typical second-type masonry buttressed 

 the south member of the pair. 



In the rebuilt room with the plastered door jamb previously 

 described, the south wall foundation was laid in a dug trench. 

 Masonry originally erected upon that foundation was second-type but 

 third-type masonry had been substituted later. Here, as at the north 

 end, there was a south door of unusual width, 3 feet 7 inches ; in its 

 rebuilt upper west jamb, as at the north end, two 4-inch timbers had 

 been installed presiunably to support the later third-type masonry. 

 The east jamb of this former south door, plastered and whitened, had 

 been razed 26 inches above its associated floor at which level a new 

 pavement extended southward (pi. 34, lower). 



A westward extension of that second-type south wall had been 

 razed a foot and a half outside the corner and replaced with typeless 

 foundation stonework that continued westward underneath the 

 bordering East Court masonry. A corresponding eastward extension 

 had been razed 2^ feet beyond its original southeast corner, perhaps 

 in anticipation of the second-type kiva that occupies a large propor- 

 tion of the south sub-court area. 



All we know of that second-type under-court kiva was revealed 

 in two narrow trenches, one on the east side and the other, on the 

 southwest. Floor depth in the first was 12 feet 10 inches; in the 

 second, 11 feet 3 inches. An encircling bench averaging 30 inches 

 high measured 24 inches wide and we counted 19 layers of whitened 

 plaster on its front. The upper wall had been razed to within 3^ feet 

 of bench top. Neither test exposed a pilaster or other fixture. 



Remnants of three more partially razed second-type kivas were 

 noted, subsurface, in the northeast corner of the Court. One of these 

 three, of pre-Kiva L vintage, was provided with a ventilator shaft 

 that, piled about with loose rock, occupied half the floor of a still 

 earlier second-type kiva. This latter had been razed almost to floor 

 level at depth of 5 feet 8 inches, a depth equaling that of our second 

 cross-court wall, adjoining. 



West of this razed kiva we came upon the remains of another, 

 likewise of second-type masonry and partly underlying Kiva O. The 

 portion of its upper wall exposed in our narrow trench, measured 

 38 inches thick and most of its facing stones had been removed 

 although the exterior stood 3 feet higher. Floor lay at a depth of 

 7^ feet. An encircling bench, 28 inches high and 35 inches wide, 

 was surfaced with sandstone slabs and plastered but bore no evidence 

 of a pole or plank wainscoting.
