Roadmap Village (LA 45157) - Unit 7 Summary

Author(s): Stephanie Kulow

Year: 2008

Summary

Unit 7 at Roadmap Village is located on the south side of the main plaza and was selected for excavation not only because of its proximity to the plaza but also because it had little evidence of looter disturbance visible on the surface. Surface alignments suggested the presence of room walls, and therefore a well-preserved pueblo room, which also made the unit a good candidate for excavation. Boundaries were set for the west and north walls based on surface rock alignments, and the south boundary based on the location of the south wall of Unit 5, which was believed to continue eastward to Unit 7. As one of the rooms located at the highest point of the site, it was hoped that the unit would provide artifact-rich fill and well-preserved architecture from which to develop a better understanding of the pueblo’s occupational history.
