NO. I ARCHITECTURE OF PUEBLO BONITO JUDD 1 37 



and 118 and about 8 inches above the floor of Old Bonitian 

 Room 320. 



Room-to-room measurements indicate that the flagstone floor of 

 Room 320 is about 6 inches higher than that of 326; that the floor of 

 330 is 6 feet 5 inches below the West Court surface and roof level 

 of Kiva X. On an earlier surface a few feet to the south we came 

 unexpectedly upon a feature I first mistook for an open drain since 

 its masonry sides averaged 4 inches high and 7 inches apart, were 

 generally parallel and smoother inside than out, but irregular con- 

 struction and adherence to an uneven surface soon identified it 

 as the creation of children at play (NGS, Neg. 32640A). 



Midway of the West Court our section A- A' crosses the north edge 

 of a huge pit over 10 feet deep, originally prepared for a Great Kiva 

 but subsequently filled with village waste after the kiva was dis- 

 mantled. Whatever its local age that Great Kiva presumably was con- 

 temporaneous with a pair of second-type masonry walls that underlies 

 Room 146 and was partially razed when the kiva pit was dug (pi. 36, 

 lower). 



Room 146 was built of third-type masonry, but this latter was 

 earlier and differed considerably from the third-type masonry of 

 Kiva A and its contemporary surroundings. Beneath the floor of 

 Kiva A are the remains of other structures likewise identified as of 

 third-type construction and thus part of the Late Bonitians' ambitious 

 second addition. Earlier walls underlie Rooms 148 and 149, over- 

 looking Kiva A from the north, and continue eastward at an average 

 depth of 6| feet but they do not appear on our A-A'. Half way across 

 the East Court, however, we encountered an abandoned kiva 12 feet 

 deep and of indubitable second-type masonry, the variety widely 

 employed during the Late Bonitians' first addition to the village. 



Room 289, one of three built upon the latest East Court surface and 

 therefore presumably late in point of time, was constructed of rela- 

 tively large blocks of dressed friable sandstone but its masonry is 

 not second-type. Beyond 289 our A-A' profile crosses various 

 structures all of which fall within my definition of third-type stone- 

 work including the remains of earlier kivas deep beneath the floors 

 of C and D. 



We found Kiva D especially interesting not only because its 

 predecessor lies 6^ feet below floor level but also because two 

 masonry repositories had been built under the floor and close against 

 the face of that predecessor. One of those repositories (No. 1), 

 containing several fragments of turquoise and shell and the imprints
