NO. I ARCHITECTURE OF PUEBLO BONITO — JUDD I3S 



ous workmen, construction differs from place to place. Banded 

 fourth-type prevails here and there and is predominant north of the 

 intercourt passageway. Nevertheless, I have classed it all as third- 

 type stonework, a deliberate compromise. It replaced an earlier third- 

 type wall that left its southeast corner dovetailed into the north- 

 wall masonry of Room 140 (pi. 33, right) — ^the same third-type wall 

 that underlies third-type Rooms 143 and 144 (fig. 5) and is reflected 

 by the interior of Room 146, see above in plate 36, upper. 



While our Zuiii crew was repairing this Court-side wall in 1925 

 a friable sandstone block with a zigzag incised upon it was recovered 

 in Kiva A and placed here. Such designs may be only vagrant 

 fancies of an unenthusiastic mason but they do occur and they were 

 repeated. The largest we noted extends over several contiguous 

 stones in the south wall of Room 245 but there were others. 



Great Kiva A and its surroundings on the opposite side of that 

 wall are also classed as of third-type construction despite the fact all 

 are late, perhaps later than their stonework suggests. All are built 

 of salvaged materials and laminate sandstone is conspicuous through- 

 out if not actually preponderant. Their stonework lacks the superior 

 quality of that in rooms I have described as of fourth-type, but it 

 may be as recent as they, if not more so. Among the sherds we recov- 

 ered from a limited test, subfloor in Kiva A, five were typed as Mesa 

 Verde and 15, Chaco-San Juan or McElmo Black-on- white. Here, 

 once more, I have compromised my convictions as to the sequence of 

 masonry at Pueblo Bonito. 



Second-type walls from across the East Court, partially razed 

 and superseded by third-type masonry, underlie Rooms 146, 148, and 

 149 and formerly continued across the West Court to Rooms 25 and 

 336. Other second-type East Court walls underlie Room 150 but 

 emerge from beneath Rooms 213 and 214 as indefinite or, where 

 finished stonework prevailed, as third-type. 



More second- and third-type masonry is to be seen in the north 

 part of the pueblo and has often directly supplanted that of the 

 Old Bonitians. First-type stonework at the east ends of Old Bonitian 

 Rooms 71, 78, and 86 was torn out and replaced with second-type and, 

 as I read the record, that same second-type masonry formerly ex- 

 tended east to Rooms 62, 70, and beyond. Beginning with Rooms 

 69, 80, and 87, which adjoin 71, 78, and 86 on the east, all walls now 

 standing are of third-type masonry — first, second, and third stories — 

 but they have replaced, in whole or in part, others of first- or second- 

 type (pi. 22, upper). The floor of third-type Room 87 is 7 feet
