roomblock

An aboveground building with at least two rooms. The rooms were built side-by-side, with "shared" walls, like an apartment building. Some roomblocks were one story tall and had only a few rooms. Other roomblocks were two or more stories tall and had many rooms. Roomblocks were used for everyday living, including corn grinding, cooking, eating, storage, and sleeping.

Roomblocks are still used in pueblos today.
