Exact dating of this feature was not possible because the pithouse could not be excavated without destroying the tower of Coyote Village. The floor of kiva 2, on the extreme east of the ruin, was built at ground level. The people never used, or even completed, this kiva. Kiva 3 was abandoned and filled with trash while the village was occupied. Following excavation, archeologists noted water on the floors of the kivas in the spring of the year.
Short walls butt against the double coursed wall along the east and south sides of the village.
There are also openings to the outside in this wall. There is no evidence that these short walls were ever completed rooms. With kiva 3 filled and kiva 1 roofed over, maybe the east and south wall enclosed a large, open courtyard. Government Funds Were Expended.
