Roadmap Village (LA 45157) - Unit 8 Summary

Author(s): Garrett Trask

Year: 2012

Summary

Unit 8, excavated in the 2012 field season, measured 3.5 meters by 3.2 meters and consisted of the abandoned and collapsed remains of a two-story pueblo room. The room was located near the center of Roadmap Village just east of the smaller west plaza and north of Unit 1, which was excavated in 2007. The room was excavated 1.7 meters below the ground surface to its lowest cultural surface—the floor of the first story. Below this was 20cm of cultural fill on top of “sterile” or B-Horizon. A high amount of burnt material along with other evidence of a thermal event was encountered throughout the excavation levels, which suggested that the room had been burned. Unit 8 also contained well preserved remains of the room’s first and second story roofs.
