Notes: University of Colorado Series in Anthropology No. 12.  Third and final report of excavations done between 1953 and 1956.  Not identified as a “summary” volume, there are “comments upon the cultural sequence exemplified by all three sites (499, 866 and 875) and upon certain features of the villages…” (From the Preface).  This small pueblo probably housed only 25-35 people, but more than 25,000 potsherds and 10 whole or partial vessels were recovered from the site.
