Structure 160/9005 fell out of use during the Late Pueblo II period. It appears that the primary beams were removed from the roof and the remaining construction sediments and secondary beams were intentionally collapsed.

| Postabandonment

Natural sediments and cultural fill washed into the depression from areas of higher elevation during the Pueblo II period. The great house core was constructed above this structure shortly after its abandonment.
