V-78.—There is a small group of Semi-isolated Large Houses on the sandy pampa of Middle Viru-South at a point about 1 kilometer above the Pan-American Highway (Quad E-4, northwest). The site consists of at least five units within a radius of 50 meters. All but one are single-room affairs (fig. 58). The stone foundations are 65. Figure 58.—Ground plan of V-78. On flat desert terrain. as Tomaval Period. Probably dates cms. wide and composed of rather small boulders. There is very little stone on the site, and it is likely that the superstructures were made of adobes. The houses seem to have been oriented without any particular reference to each other or to a general plan. One room has some poorly defined interior partitions; the others have none. Excavations were made in the corner of the largest building. The stone foundation was followed down for a little over 1 meter. The most characteristic feature of the masonry was the abundant use of mud mortar. No prepared floor was encountered. The size of the rooms or buildings ranges from 22 by 18 down to approximately 10 by 10 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
