Moundless Xoo Phase Structures at Lambityeco
At least eighteen Xoo phase structures have been discovered by pure chance in areas where no mounds occurred. These moundless structures were encountered accidentally during excavations in areas specifically chosen for their apparent lack of structures (e.g., Fowler’s stratigraphic test pit project) and by farmers who chanced upon them in featureless fields. Each of these moundless structures is located on the map of Lambityeco (see Figs. 4.1 and 4.3) where they are identified by a symbol such as A, B, C, B-77 (Burial), T. 10 (Tomb), Sweatbath, and so forth.
The data for each structure include, when available, its location by zone—for example, N3/W6 (the square on the map in which the structure can be found) and the type of structure it represents (if known). The presence of these structures makes it apparent that many additional structures may be encountered in areas of the site that appear to be devoid of structures.
Symbol on Figs. 4.1 and 4.3 | Zone | Structure | Comments |
A | N8/W11 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
B | N8/W11 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
C | N8/W11 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
D | N8/W11 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
E | N8/W12 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
F | N8/W12 | House | Peterson notes a dense scatter of small stones, which were probably cobblestone bases for house floors. |
T. 3 (star) | N9/W11 | House | Fully excavated House of Tomb 3 (see Chapter 8). |
T. 4 (star) | N9/W11 | House | Fully excavated House of Tomb 4 (see Chapter 8). |
T. 10 (star) | N8/W12 | House | House of Tomb 10 partially excavated by Fowler, who exposed parts of stratified plaster patios and house floors. |
T. 12 (star) | N6/W12 | House | House of Tomb 12. The tomb was salvaged by Roberto Zárate (1992) of the Centro Regional INAH–Oaxaca. |
T-67 (star) | N5/W12 | House | Looted tomb and associated house examined and photographed by Lind in 1967. |
T-68 (star) | N7/W11 | House | Looted tomb and associated house examined and photographed by Lind and Mogor in 1968. |
B. 73 (circle) | N8/W11 | House | Burial probably associated with a house excavated by Fowler in 1973. |
B. 77 (circle) | N9/W10 | House | Three burials probably associated with a house excavated by the Centro Regional INAH–Oaxaca in 1977. |
B. 78 (circle) | N9/W10 | House | Burial probably associated with a house excavated by the Centro Regional INAH–Oaxaca in 1978. |
Sweatbath (square) | N9/W10 | Sweatbath | Sweatbath north of Mound 195 excavated by Paddock in 1961. |
Sweatbath (square) | N8/W11 | Sweatbath | Sweatbath west of Mound 190 excavated by Fowler in 1973. |
(triangle) | N7/W9 | House | Wattle-and-daub house excavated by Peterson. |
