Floor a is largely cut away to expose Floor b. Note layer of sand extending under walls associated with Floor a. the center was a firepit(?) 30 cm. in diameter, with rounded, plastered hp. Near the southwest wall was a large, sand-filled, double pit, by meters and 15 cm. deep. The bases of the Room A walls rest on the sand layer that overlies Floor h, and both the sand layer and Floor h pass beneath and beyond these walls. It is apparent that Floor a and its as- sociated walls were constructed after the abandonment of Floor h and after the accumulation above it of the wind-blown sand layer (fig. 6). The size of the Floor /; room and the location of its walls were not determined. Rooms B and C, which have no doors, were cleared down to plastered floors at the same level as Floor a in Room A. The upper half-meter of the fill in these rooms was pure sand, but the lower half-meter consisted of a mixture of broken adobes, bits of plaster, fragments of cane ( cm. in diameter), pieces of cane-impressed plaster 2-3 cm. thick, and plaster impressions of twisted rope. Evidently the roof had consisted of canes tied in place and plastered on top, a construction similar to that of the niche ceilings at V-124A. Three bins, each 65 cm. wide and 60-100 cm. long, adjoin the north- east wall of Room A. These were filled with adobe fragments and sand; the plastered floors were 25 cm. higher than Floor a. There was no evidence that the bins had been roofed. A mass of debris on the floors consisted of.
