Summary

Site number 85NM601 is a (highly probable multi-component site, comprised of seven pit house structures, a great kiva, and two or three-room pueblos. It is located on a flat area located between a ridge and the top edge of an eroded cliff. There is a small step-down at the bottom of this cliff face which contains another similar site. Below the step down lies the Polomas Creek. The object of our excavation was to open up a lm x lm test unit in one of the pit houses (Pit Structure D) in order to d determine whether this structure was indeed a pit house; and what sort of archaeological artifacts and features it contained.
