N. corner: 13" from NE. and NW. walls, 

 26" dia. x 19" d., unplastered. 

 Earlier floor at 4". NW. and SE. founda- 

 tions cross "trench" 28" w. x 29" d. left by 

 completely razed wall. 

 Of 3rd type masonry, 4th room E. of 297 in 

 Late Bonitians' 2nd addition. 

 Beams and ceiling poles, all walls, cut by 

 saw or steel ax. 



NE. wall : 6' 4" from N. corner, 3' 8" w. x 

 4'h., blocked. SW. wall: 7' 4" from S. 

 corner, 2' 4" w. 



NE. wall: 1) 7" from N. corner, 14" sq.; 

 2) 17" from E. corner; both ca. 6' above 

 floor. SW. wall : 1 ) 16" from E. corner, 

 14" sq. ; 2) W. end, inadvertently closed dur- 

 ing 1923 repairs. 



Foundation 22" w. without masonry under- 

 lies NW. end 1" from N. corner and is 

 crossed by SE. foundation 14" from E. 

 corner. This unidentified foundation, in line 

 with those under Rs. 293-294 probably marks 

 former position of 2nd type masonry wall 

 continuing E. and SE. from R. 297 (fig. 4). 

 Probable doors in now shattered NW., SE., 

 and SW. walls. 



SW. wall of 3rd type masonry ; others of 4th 

 type. NW. and SE. ends abut plaster on SW. 

 side. 3rd story masonry survives ; no wall 

 openings. Ground floor room unexcavated. 

 A 3-story OB dwelling in outside row of 

 original pueblo. First story floor ill-defined, 

 covered by 12" layer of cedar chips; most 

 artifacts recovered above this layer. 

 Pine, Cottonwood, and pinyon poles crushed 

 vertically against side walls by stonework 

 fallen from above. Two dated timbers, Nos. 

 68 and 69. 



SW. wall : 7' from W. corner, ca. 4' above 

 floor, 27" w. x 24" h. ; lintels hewn boards ; 

 ill-defined sill suggests partial blocking; 2 

 protruding wall stones as probable steps. 

 Under floor, W. corner, same massive s.s. 

 noted in R. 298— former cliff-fall. 

 W. corner masonry still stands 4i' above 

 floor level; shows better plastering, more 

 finger prints, than in 1st story. 

 2nd type L.B. room in outside row abutting 

 OB 298. First story not excavated ; 2nd story 

 floor not cleared. R. 297B and that next on
