096
Room 96W is an original Chacoan room located in the northeastern transect of Salmon Pueblo and measures 5.7 x 5.7 m. Towards the end of the Chacoan occupation, 96W was converted into a kiva. Subsequently, additional San Juan kiva features were added, including a southern recess and pilasters. The designation “96W” is for both the square Chacoan room and the kiva. The names 96A and 96C were applied to the interstitial spaces created when the round kiva was emplaced into the square room. The 96B label was applied to the southern recess of the Room 96A kiva.
