Nonstructure 1-N, midden

ABOUT THIS NONSTRUCTURE

General Location	Scattered, numerous excavation units containing midden.
Specific Location
Selection Criteria	See associated excavation unit(s).
Use	Disposal of refuse--although these midden deposits were lumped into one study unit, deposition of refuse seemed to be structure-specific or kiva suite-specific, so assemblage should be considered unit by unit, and associated with the nearest kiva suite.
Abandonment	Abandoned when occupation of the village ended.
Postabandonment Processes	In some areas, midden deposits were covered by wall fall and slopewash.
Dating of Midden	Used during the one component identified at this site.
Date Range	1 (A.D. 1256–1285)
