Reconstruct the Construction Sequence of this Pueblo A small seven-room pueblo has been excavated. The pueblo burned, leaving many collapsed roof beams in the room fill. Tree-ring samples were collected and submitted to analysis. Cutting dates are assumed to represent the date of room construction. But there are some anomalies in the date clusters for the rooms (e.g., Room 3 has a non-cutting date that is later than the cutting dates; Room 6 has cutting dates that date to two different years). The bond/abut relationships of walls also give relative dates of construction events. The basic assumption is that bonded walls were built at the same time. Instructions Write 1-2 pages (Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced), addressing the following: 1. Reconstruct the construction sequence of this pueblo, using both types of evidence (i.e., tree-ring dates and the bond/abut relationship of the rooms). 2. When was each room built? 3. How do you explain the anomalous dates? 2 3 7 abutted 4 5 bonded Cutting dates are represented by the following symbols: B = bark present r= part of the outermost ring present V Non-cutting dates are indicated by these symbols: = a subjective judgment that, although there is no direct evidence of the true outside of the specimen, the date is close to being a cutting date W = there is no way of estimating how far the last ring of the specimen is from the original outermost ring +wx= a small sample with only a few rings and no way of estimating how far the last ring of the specimen is from the original outermost ring The following dates have been returned from the lab: Room 2 1179+vy 1250vv Room 1 1188+Vy 1236vv 1247vv 1250vv 1251r Room 3 1225vv 1249vv 1250r 1251B 1255vv Room 4 1151vv 1239v 1250vv 1252r 1252r Room 5 1219vv 1246vv 1252r 12521 1253r 1253B Room 6 1245vv 1250+Vy 1251r 1251B 1260r 1260r Room 7 1210vv 1249v 1260r Reconstruct the Construction Sequence of this Pueblo A small seven-room pueblo has been excavated.
