N. foundation, 8″ h., abuts W. wall on same level as step; above foundation, N. wall (exterior of Kiva Z enclosure) had been plastered and whitened. |
|
Subfloor: | Partly razed 2nd type kiva noted subfloor in R. 324 underlies NW. corner of 347; also, 2 fragments of plastered 2nd type masonry, their associate floor at depth of 24″ broken thru ca. 6′ from NW. corner. Embedded in this floor directly below the Kiva Z enclosure at the break-off point are 2 posts 3″ dia.; a 3rd post, 10″ dia., stands several feet to the S., at the W. jamb of the R. 348 N. door. Beyond the broken 2nd floor, portions of 3 successive kivas were encountered beneath the SE. corner of Kiva Z enclosure: 1) a 1st type OB kiva; 2) one of 2nd type masonry; 3) 3rd type Kiva 67. |

Subfloor OB Kiva: | Of the OB kiva, we exposed a 7′ arc to bench level at 9′ 3″. Stonework typical, 12″ th., slopes outward ca. 13 degrees, razed av. of 4′ 10″ above bench. Bench 36″ w., front edge rounded and 2-3″ higher; on bench, plastered masonry pilaster 8″ w. x 6″ h. x 36″ l.; resting lengthwise directly upon pilaster, exposed 5″ dia. log its distal end embedded in kiva stonework, forward end seated upon 4″ dia. post embedded in bench masonry 29″ from rear. A N.-S. log close against the concave W. arc of this partly razed OB kiva and 2 others, above and at right angles, helped support masonry of Kiva Z enclosure. |

We exposed a 6½′ section only, our trench ending 12′ 9″ from the NW. corner of R. 347 and 9′ from the SE. corner of Kiva Z enclosure. Built upon this partly razed 2nd type stonework is the previously excavated 3rd type masonry structure readily identified as Kiva 67. Of this latter, we bared an upper arc only, 23′ 4″ l., extending from a point 18′ from NW. corner of R. 347 and 6′ from outer SE. corner of Kiva Z square to our trench end, 35½′ and 29′ 4″, respectively, from same 2 points. |

In pursuing its investigations at Pueblo Bonito, the National Geographic Society reexamined
certain rooms previously excavated by the Hyde Expeditions, 1896-1899. The notes
which here follow for Rooms 1-190, recorded during those investigations, are to be regarded
merely as supplemental to data published in Pepper, 1920.
