EMAP Buckaroo – LA 70259 Unit 10, 11, 12, 1989-1990

Part of the EMAP Buckaroo (LA70259) - Unit Summaries project

Year: 1989

Summary

Units 10, 11, and 12 are arbitrarily picked bounded units extramurally located off the southern wall of the Buckaroo site. Units 10 and 11 (Loci 1 & 2) are symmetrical 1 meter x 2 meter quads oriented adjacently on an east to west axis. Unit 12 (Loci 1,2,3, & 4) began as a 1 meter x 3 meter unit (Locus 1) running lengthwise east to west along the Buckaroo’s southern wall, attached along unit 12’s southern boundary, then, were Units 10, 11 (Loci 1 & 2). Loci 2 & 3 of unit 12, then, were locus extensions, northerly, in an attempt to encounter the boundary limits of the Buckaroo’s southern most pueblo/room wall. Locus 2 was an extension of approximately .25 m north toward the pueblo wall, and Locus 3 was a second extension northward .08 m, again in a successful attempt at discovering the pueblo wall. Both Locus extensions were initiated when Locus 1 of Unit 12 was unsuccessful at finding the pueblo wall, exactly three levels into excavation. Both Loci 2& 3 were taken in .13 m levels down to the then present base of excavation of Locus 1.
