Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the northeast wall of Structure 1202.

Judgmental. To expose the east wall and an area of floor, and to collect an artifact sample.

Natural strata.

Bedrock.

100

Segment 2 (1 x 1 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the east wall of Structure 1204.

Judgmental. To extend Segment 1 in order to expose more floor surface and perhaps some floor features.

Natural strata.

Fill continued. A small amount of preserved structure floor was exposed. A large area of the floor had been destroyed by the 1931 Western State College field school excavations, and in that area, we stopped excavating when we encountered intact subfloor construction sedi

101

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. In the northwest portion of Structure 1203.

Judgmental. To expose and document an area of floor and northwest wall.

Natural strata.

Fill continued. Excavation in the north end of the unit ended at the top of the wall. In the center of the unit, excavation stopped at a constructed surface. In the south part of the unit, excavation stopped in structure fill for safety reasons (profile faces were large,

102

Segment 2 (Approximately the south one-half of a kiva.). In the great tower complex. South half of Structure 1205.

Judgmental. To more fully document the architecture and orientation of this kiva.

Strata subdivided into arbitrary levels.

Bedrock.

103

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit, oriented roughly east-west.). In the great tower complex. Along the northeast wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose and document a section of the east wall and an area of the floor of this structure.

Natural strata.

Structure floor.

104

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. The entire south half of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose the west wall(s) of this structure--this wall was already partly exposed.

Natural strata.

Bedrock.

105

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the northeast wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To determine the type of structure and document the architecture.

Strata subdivided into arbitrary levels.

Bedrock.

106

Segment 2 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Northeast corner of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose the corner of the structure and the remainder of the mealing bins partly exposed in the 1 x 2 m unit adjacent on the west.

Strata subdivided into arbitrary levels.

Structure floor. Small test-pit "windows" were excavated to bedrock.

107

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the southeast wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose the east wall and an area of floor of this structure.

Natural strata.

Bedrock.

108

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Northeast corner of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose the north wall and a section of the floor.

Natural strata.

Bedrock.

109

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit, oriented northeast-southwest.). In the great tower complex. Along the northeast wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose a section of east wall and an area of floor.

Natural strata.

Structure floor.

110

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the west wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose a section of west wall and an area of floor.

Strata subdivided into arbitrary levels.

Structure floor.

111

Segment 1 (1 x 2 m unit.). In the great tower complex. Along the south wall of the structure.

Judgmental. To expose a section of south wall and an area of floor.

Natural strata.

Bedrock.

112

Segment 1 (1 x 2.5 m unit.). In the great tower complex. In a bi-wall room east of the oversized kiva (Structure 1201).

Judgmental. East end of an east-west trench that bisected the great tower bi-wall structure.

Strata subdivided into arbitrary levels.

Bedrock.
