Unit 13 was a relatively small rectangular room (2.5 x 4.3 = 10.8 square meters) single story room in what was called the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Its size and the absence of a hearth suggest that Unit 13 served as a storage room. It was repeatedly remodeled, as indicated by three floor layers. No chronometric dates were obtained from this room.

Unit 5 was a very well-preserved two-story room in the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village (3.5 x 4 = 14 square meters). It was built on top of a much earlier pithouse or pit feature. Unit 5 was part of a larger two-story construction, including Unit 8/15 to the north. When it was built, the first and second story rooms seem to have been very similar, both with hearths just east of center, both bisected by a row of roof support posts. After some use the...

Unit 4 was a fairly well-preserved two-story room in the West Side section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Other rooms to the south (Unit 5 and Units 8, 14,15) were also two story and had been filled in prehistorically so their second story floors were nearly intact. In contrast, Unit 4’s second story collapsed and only a portion of it was found, mostly in the southeast corner of the room. The lower, first-story floor of Unit 4 had been substantially remodeled. Two large roof...

Units 11 and 12 on the Las Animas site (LA 3949) are located next to each other on the extreme southeastern portion of the Black Mountain phase roomblocks. Unit eleven's eastern wall was readily apparent as a double course row of large river cobbles, while Unit 12 covered an area immediately to the northwest of Unit 11. Unit 11 contains two rooms while Unit 12 may only represent an area immediately outside of Unit eleven's two rooms as well as Unit 13.
