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.
