NO. I ARCHITECTURE OF PUEBLO BONITO — JUDD I23 



of matching masonry (pi. 36, upper). Also, as in the East Court, 

 there was a so-called "passageway" at the end of this blocked pair 

 and a westward extension that exhibits a mixture of all our masonry 

 types except Old Bonitian and is, accordingly, best described as 

 "indefinite." The two members are each 16 inches thick and finished 

 on both faces; they stand 25 inches apart with an adobe pavement 

 between and were razed at an average height of 18 inches or 5 

 inches below the latest surface. Shallowness if not mixed masonry 

 would appear to identify this pair as a late creation in the history of 

 Pueblo Bonito (fig. 5). 



Another, quite comparable pair of cross-court walls lies 12 feet 

 4 inches north of those just described and a few inches deeper. They 

 are cruder than the first pair, but also average 16 inches wide, stand 

 26-27 inches apart, and are finished on the inside only. Without 

 foundation, this pair was joined 30 inches below the surface by a 

 connecting floor that was covered by a 3-inch layer of sand and an 

 equal amount of shale chips. At its west end, where the pair con- 

 tinues beneath the north side of the Kiva 130 enclosure, a section 

 of stonework resembles our second-type ; elsewhere it is "indefinite." 



Outside this Kiva 130 enclosure we found an assortment of razed 

 rooms and fragmentary walls resembling the hodgepodge in the south- 

 west corner of the East Court except that none was built above the 

 last recognized West Court surface. Earlier pavements at depths 

 of 10 and 23 inches abutted the whitened plaster on outer north side 

 of Room 131. A partly razed kiva partially underlies Kiva 130 and 

 what may be its cylindrical air shaft underlies a 3-room unit ad- 

 joining (fig. 5 ). 



Eastward from this assemblage, as in the East Court, we noted 

 various sections of masonry of little immediate significance and nu- 

 merous fireplaces. Among these, its orifice at the last Court level 

 11 feet 10 inches north of Room 134, was a masonry-lined repository 

 or shrine 13 inches in diameter and of equal depth. Beyond this latter 

 were subcourt Rooms 350 and 351 and Kiva 2-D, described elsewhere. 



Here, too, occupying much of the West Court at a depth of 10 feet 

 or more were the remains of a completely razed Great Kiva that I at 

 first assumed must have been built of second-type masonry but which, 

 for reasons to be presented in the next chapter, I have since come to 

 regard as more likely one of third-type construction (fig. 5). 



The Late Bonitians were endowed with an unconquerable urge to 

 build. They built retaining terraces beneath the Braced-up Cliff and 

 walls to curtail drift of waste in their two principal rubbish piles. 

 They built dwellings of friable sandstone, pecked or hand-smoothed
