Fifty-one strata were identified in 121W, including 4 distinct floors. The lowest two are Chacoan in origin, while the upper two may represent Chacoan or San Juan era floors. Twenty-one features were found in 121W. The room 121Z designation was used to track features and deposits from an occupation perhaps earlier than the Chacoan use of Room 121W. These remains were found below the earliest Chacoan floor and extended beneath the walls of the room. Room 121A is the San Juan kiva emplaced into Room 121W in the mid-1100s or early 1200s.

Room 121D is the northwest interstitial space next to the 121A kiva. Room 121E is the northwest interstitial space next to the 121A kiva.
