Notes: University of Colorado Studies, Series in Anthropology No. 13.  When excavated Site 1086 was initially thought to be a tower, but further excavation indicated it was the site of an above-ground kiva, probably used for religious activities “for only a decade or two before and after 1100 A.D.” (Discussion, p. 23)
