Shard Evidence From Substructure
Throughout the fill of the substructure, and in greater numbers
on the floor, the shards display a predominant percentage of Red Mesa.
The Red Mesa is varied in some instances by Lino, Escavada, and
Kana-a neck-banded—Lino running the highest percentage of these
as may be seen from the accompanying table (Table I). Several more
or less complete Red Mesa bowls and one Kana-a pot were recovered
from the floors of the rooms in the west substructure. This evidence
is supplemented by abundant Red Mesa shards in the levels under the
room floors of the superstructure over the whole of the pueblo. This
evidence, coupled with the typical masonry, and the typical artifacts,
make the designation of the substructure as Pueblo I conclusive.
