127
Room 127W is an original Chacoan room located in the southeast sector of Salmon Pueblo. It measures 5.4 x 2.9 m. It was constructed during the initial episode, around 1090, and a kiva was added during the later San Juan occupation (designated Room 127A). In all, 49 strata were identified in 127W; half were feature-related deposits. The San Juan strata included trash layers, roof-fall, and a floor complex. Around ten strata were mixed Chacoan and San Juan ceramics. Chacoan strata include a floor complex, artificial fill, and feature fill. One surface was determined to be pre-Chacoan in origin. Thirty-six features were associated with Room 127W. At least ten were San Juan in origin: five burials, two hearths, ash pits, and roofing material. The Chacoan age features include ash pits, hearths, a ritual feature with a ceramic bowl and a mano. The room was burned in the late 1100s or early 1200s, a burning event seen elsewhere across Salmon Pueblo. After this, Room 127W was converted into the 127A kiva. Room 127B is the southern (southeast and southwest) interstitial space around the 127A kiva ventilator tunnel and between the original Chacoan walls. Room 127C is the northeast interstitial space around the 127A kiva. Room 127D is the northwest interstitial space around the 127A kiva. Room 127E is the southeast portion of Room 127W.The 127Z designation was used to track deposits from a hypothetical occupation below the Chacoan use of Room 127W.
