Firepit, round, room 60. Manos and hammerstones found on floor. Sealed doorway to left of meter stick. Arrow (50 cm. long) points north; meter stick in back- ground. GENERAL (Figs. 15-19) Dimensions of Rooms.—Size of habitation rooms varied from by m. to by m., and are generally larger than sq. meters in floor area. Size of storage rooms ranged from by m. to by m., and are generally smaller than sq. meters in floor area. Number of Stories.—One. Deposits.—Thirty-one rooms contained no trash; fill composed of soil, sand, wall debris, water-laid soil, a few sherds. Twelve of these are habi- tation rooms and 19 storage (not including outliers). Twenty-one rooms contained trash, of which 17 were habitation units and four storage rooms. (This count includes surface habitation rooms later converted to kivas and rooms that may have functioned as habita- tion and/or storage spaces). The trash in some rooms was relatively thin, amounting to a few centi- meters, and deposited on roof beams (room 11). A few rooms contained more ash, sherds, and bones—but the maximum was about 42 cm. in thickness (room 4). This does not take into account trash in subterranean kivas or trash from Forestdale phase pit houses (Haury, 1940) sometimes encountered under floors of rooms (room 28)..
