NO. I ARCHITECTURE OF PUEBLO BONITO JUDD 1 65 



Two rooms, 225B and 242B, boasted two diagonal doors each. 

 Those in 225B extended northeast and southeast; those in 242B, 

 northeast and northwest. Direction obviously was not the determin- 

 ing factor in location. A lone example in the northwest corner of 

 Room 173B (pi. 15, left) opens corner-wise into 228B, one of two 

 fourth-type dwellings whose first stories were deliberately quartered 

 to provide support for the elevated ventilator shaft of remodeled 

 Kiva C. 



When Pepper's field notes became available, his description of 

 Hyde Expedition Room IZ (Pepper, 1920, p. 258), despite the mis- 

 labeling of figure 89 (ibid., p. 204), was readily identified as the 

 one we had previously numbered 228B. There is no other second- 

 story room in the whole pueblo featuring both a southeast corner 

 doorway and a former T-shaped door in the middle east wall, suc- 

 cessively reduced and ultimately blocked. The wall plaster seen in 

 Pepper's illustration had fallen prior to 1920 but identification is 

 positive. 



Similarly, our Room 229 is identifiable as the Hyde Expedition's 

 Room 24 the first story of which, like 7Z, had been quartered and 

 rubbish-filled when Kiva C was raised to the second-story level. 

 Since our notes supplement Pepper's in several respects it seems de- 

 sirable to call attention briefly to certain features previously over- 

 looked. 



In the first place, both 228 and 229, upper and lower, were origi- 

 nally dwellings with walls of banded fourth-type masonry and plas- 

 tered. Subsequently, to provide for alterations to Kiva C, both 

 groundfloor rooms were quartered by hastily built stonework that 

 rests upon the original adobe floors, abuts the plastered side walls, 

 and terminates at the second-story floor offset. In both rooms the 

 quartering partitions are composed chiefly of salvaged blocks of 

 dressed friable sandstone and remain unplastered ; individual stones 

 protrude step-like at irregular intervals. In both rooms the north- 

 south partitions abut previously blocked doors to Rooms 171 and 

 172 or crowd upon the exposed ends of 171 and 172 beams. One of 

 these latter (JPB, No. 58), from Room 172, was felled in A.D. 1061. 



Introduction of the quartering stonework rendered both 228 and 

 229 uninhabitable so the families moved to the second story and 

 utilized the lower units as dumps for household trash. From this 

 waste the Hyde Expeditions recovered outworn sandals, broken earth- 

 enware vessels, fragments of basketry and matting. The lower walls 

 in Room 229 had been whitewashed. Subfloor tests we made in the
