Summary

Unit 10 consists of a two story pueblo room near the center of Roadmap Village. No hearth or other domestic feature was encountered in Unit 10, suggesting that the room (or at least its first story) was not residential in nature. Vented V-seams were found in the north and east walls, suggesting some social connection between the residents of Unit 10 and those of the rooms to the east (not excavated) and north (Unit 7). A partially filled doorway was encountered in the room’s west wall. Unit 10 contained evidence of several remodeling episodes, suggesting extended use and perhaps reoccupation. Much of the fallen wall rock removed from Unit 10 was fire-cracked or fire-weakened but the room contained no direct evidence of catastrophic fire. This may indicate that one of the adjacent rooms burned, with that to the west being the most likely candidate.
